hello guys,

happy new year to you all!

can anyone please ID this goby? I think it is a goby because it moved the sand like other goby. Length is 3 to 4 inches black color with tiny blue dots on body. It is shy. Location in Arabia. It has been 2 days at peace with a pair of clown fish. FA123284-055E-408E-A412-7F17E8E77B12.jpeg

Google both combtooth blenny and black clown goby. Still difficult to tell from photos as they are not clear
 
Two species that I'd compare with (though I don't know if it's either of them):
Atrosalarias fuscus - the Black Sailfin Blenny
Ecsenius namiyei - the Black Combtooth Blenny
 
I appreciate your replies. This is more close up picture. It is still shy and does not go along with others.
