Hi,
Over the weekend, my husband and I saw a really neat goby at the local fish store. The name they give to the goby is Bar Goby. We wanted to do some research on it before purchasing it. When we got home, we looked it up and the pictures we found do not look anything like the goby we saw at the store. I am wondering if anyone on this forum can tell us what it is. But we do not have any pictures of it. :(
The goby has a bright pink horizontal thick strip on its body (from eye to tail?). I can't remember the color of the rest of its body, but I faintly remember that it's very colorful. (The Bar Goby pix we found have vertical strips on their bodies.) And this goby moves like a snake. It also buries itself into the sand substrate, covering completely. It's also thin and long like a snake.
I hope someone can help id this fish. I will try to get a picture if the fist is still there when we go back......
Thanks,
