Hi All:
I think I have to ask the expert on this. I am new to Goby fish and see this fish on Youtube, can someone tell me what is this? The title says it is a "Pink Goby"

Common name: Dartfish/Firefish
Scientific: (Nemateleotris magnifica)

I not sure about the classification/biology exactly between the Dartfish and a Goby, but the dartfish is a goby, Family Gobiidae, but referring to the dartfish as a goby is not commonly used in the hobby language as I am aware of

Have one. Great little fish. A little skittish, but a good reefsafe other fish safe addition.

WOW, you guys are great. Thanks a lot everyone.
If you have this fish, can you please tell me how much you paid for it? Is that a expensive fish or just a popular fish?
Thanks.

It's about $15 at my LFS and very common.

There is a red and a purple firefish. The purple one is a little more expensive, but they are beautiful. A pair of them will be my next/last fish addition.
