its really hard to tell in the photo but im guessing your guy is a watchman goby... other than that im no help

Wel he is a yellow watchmen goby and if I had access to a decent camera I might get more replys but I don't have 3 more pics I'll upload in a few min there a bit better

just to clairify the dots around his gills look grey but they have nothing to do with the gray splotch on his back as there his blue dots

Can you stand back from the tank a little. We can see the spots you're talking about but the pic really needs to be in focus to assess whether they're natural or disease related :biggrin:

ill try again when the lights come on but with my phone camera all u can see is a goby lol no detail almost cant tell the marks are there. ill play around with the settings and try to snap a few more. full lights on at 2pm so ill try to have then on before 3 thx

but if you just take a clear focused photo I can zoom into it on my computer and have a look :biggrin:
