Hello guys and gals , I recently purchased this little guy (today) and noticed these purple marks on the underside of it’s belly. The lfs I purchased it from had a few other diamond gobies with the same markings. Should I be worried?

Thanks.

looks more like Amblyeleotris sp. (A. guttata? / orange spotted goby), than a Valenciennea puellaris (diamond [watchman] goby). maybe it's a juvenile. LFS don't always correctly ID their livestock.

Thanks Rick, yeah I just looked it up myself and realized they sold me the wrong goby and charged me for the Diamond $50! Smh
