    Further research has led me to believe it may be a candy cane goby.. still not 100% sure though

    Hahahaha I think they will survive. Nothing bad yet. If so I think I might dedicate a tank to the Goby's

    @gwshorten,

    Good find.
    I have noticed recently that my lfs has some unusual Gobies.
    They are becoming more freely available.
