Some of you may be confused but I couldn’t find a common name for this fish other than Filamentosa Goby and figured that would confuse some of you even more. So I figured some of you would recognise Prawn Goby from the cousin of this species - Discordipinna griessingeri or the Flaming Prawn Goby. However this guy is the Discordipinna filamentosa, a more yellow version of the griessingeri.

Im curious if you guys know if this fish has ever or even is in the hobby currently. It’s a beautiful fish I’d love to try house with my Griessingeri (Yes I have a ton of hiding spots but also this wouldn’t be a recent thing and would still be in the planning for a while).
Here’s a photo of what I mean by more yellow version by the way. Not my photo and is from a Reef Builders Article about this fish being newely described (Before July 2012 it was previously known as Discordipinna sp. 1).

Cool fish!
They really are! I’ve seen several videos of them in the wild and would love to attempt one in captivity.
