Excuse the pic, but a friend of mine got me a goby from Petland almost 2 weeks ago and I would like yalls help to positivly get an ID. I think hes a blue spotted watchman goby, but am not sure. My sister took this picture cause I wasnt sure if he was still alive, but he comes out now whenever she feeds. Also Tips on their care would be nice too.

Thanks Polkster!!! He was marked as a blue spot blenny. But I knew he was a Goby. I will try to get a better pic when I get back in town.
