Anyone familiar with this sandsifter?

[RiOnRoxXx]

I've had this guy/gal for nearly two years. Has been a model citizen and keeps the sandbed on my 90gal fairly clean. Sifts the sand throughout the day.

Since I got at at an LFS I've never came across another one like it. Anyone have a name of the type of sifter he/she is?

He/she is great, never gone carpet surfing (like the others I read so commonly about) on an open top no canopy tank. He/she sifts sand all day long. Even has a little den that it has made under a larger rock near a cleaner shrimps cave. Just never knew or came across a pic of one on any online stores or at LFS.

Thank you in advance for any info or links :). It has a Yellow Mouth, horizontal orange lines, and a false eye on its top fin. Sorry for the blurry pics but I think it gives a general idea of the fishy :)

Your goby is Valenciennea muralis. You've had it for a while so I'm sure your already familiar with it's care. It's just like the other gobies of that genus.
