Unknown Goby- Need Id Help

[graceofathena]

I run the display and teaching aquariums at the university I attend and have come across an interesting saltwater ?goby? that I can't seem to identify. The head and pectoral fins are distinctly goby, but the body is long and eelike. It is about 12-14 inches in length, body depth is about 1-1.5 in. and color is a solid dark black with squiggly pale yellow lines throughout. The lines are relatively thin and form no particular pattern, much like an eastern kingsnake. I've been told it might be an engineer goby, but the pattern is nothing like it. Any ideas are welcome, I'd just like to get an ID on it soon.

Thanks

Also, it is a digger! I rarely see it because it resides under a rock that it has excavated.

Thanks again

Hey there is one of those! (sorry...I'm a newbie) I'll try that one.

I'm almost certain it's an Engineer Goby... see this post.

Might it be a Dragon Goby?
