Below are pictures of a non-hybrid and an ora-hybrid (Link (http://www.orafarm.com/blog/2012/11/29/hybrid-cleaner-gobies-are-back/)) that paired up. The third one (another hybrid) not pictured does not get along with the non-hybrid but they tend to stay away from each other in my 105 gallon tank. If it becomes bad I will remove the other non paired goby.

The funny part is the macneill's assessor gets between both gobies when the two males (?) meet up and chase each other. The non-hybrid is over a year old.

Non-hybrid is the larger one on the left in both pics

I love cleaner gobies... Such a shame about their short lifespans :(
May I ask where you purchased the ORA fish?

My LFS. I had to remove the other ora that was causing issues. Gave him away to another local reefer and will have good home. Yeah, 1-3 years is a short run.

Which LFS though? I'm in Jersey too :) (Burlington County)
I've been looking for a place that stocks ORA bred fish :beer:

Love those little fish! Always cleaning my arm when it was in the tank. The longest I've had one survive is about 2 1/2 years.
