How do I find my lost goby?

Update: I found him with my shrimp today!

They’re not paired just yet, though. The goby keeps inching near the shrimp but the shrimp snaps and scares the goby away. I’m glad I’m seeing progress though.

That looks like a Randall’s Shrimp Goby unless I am mistaken (on my must-have list), super jealous! Is it sometimes called an Aurora goby?

This is an aurora, cousin to Randall’s. The pic makes it look like a Randall’s, this is it from the side curled up in a rock:

The stripes are pinker and thicker, and it lacks the ornate dorsal fin but has a colorful caudal (tail) fin.
