Having a hard time trying to label this little (big!) guy. Store said diamond goby but I’m sure it’s not. He’s out and about a lot! Also- I usually only feed my sharp nose puffer and Chromis once a day- is this ok for this goby?
36 gallon
All perimeters are good

Escenius midas, these aren’t the gobies and they also aren’t closely related to them either.
 
That is a midas blenny, and your LFS is apparently not to be trusted, because gobies don't look or act like that.

Once-daily feedings should be fine.
