Viva Goby

[mutts]

On no I did it again! I saw what was labled as a viva goby at my LFS I work there so I feed him and watched him for about a month, and then I brought him home. I failed to do any research. He was in the tank where we have our corals and he didn't seem to be bothering them. He did bother the new hermits I put in there but it was a more, what is this, kind of thing. Well he attacked one of my sails today and ate its nose, I looked everwhere on the net from wetwebmedia to fishbase and could not find him I did find that his scienfic name may be: VALENCIENNA LONGIPPINIS. He is white with brown spots and has the sand shifting goby body type. He liked to take mouth fulls of sand looking for goodies and then spits it out, he also likes digging. I havn't been able to get a good picture of him. Maybe someone could tell me alittle more about them. THANKS!
