Looks like an adult Engineer Goby (Pholidichthys leucotaenia).

Engineer Goby is what that is. Also known as a Convict blenny. It will dig extensive tunnels under your rock work. Make sure you place the rock on the bottom of the tank, and then add your sand around it. If its anything like mine, you won't see him often except feeding time.

i had one of these guys i got it when it was an inch long:P
i thought it had died ..... 3 years later i found that he had gotten into my sump and had been hidding under rock for years.. grew to about a foot long and was about as thick as a thumb.... odd fish. they are not nice if you have lots of rock work they tend to dig and everything tumbles down...
