Here's what I think it is. Listed on this site as Wass's jawfish.

Unlike the Randall's that is a slow eater, this sp. sits in its hole & darts out to scarf down mysis & bloodworms almost faster than your eye can follow.

Love jawfish. I would eventually like to set up a true jawfish display tank.

Those are cute!!

Yes, they are. The two jawfish live with my seahorse, leopard wrasse, mated pair of mandarin gobies, Wheeler's goby, & ochre-striped cardinalfish. No problems.

Awesome, thanks! That's good to know.

What about a Fire Goby

Firefish aren't actually gobies, and although I really like them as well, I am pretty sure they will not get on well with the Jawfish since they are so similarly shaped.

I have a purple fire fish which hangout by the jaw fish there's no issue with the two they get along fine.
