Red lizard fish. He has a awsome personality. Just curious if anyone else keeps them? Their eyes are cool too.

No, but it looks a lot like a banded goby my son has been looking for his nano. Any idea how big he gets? Where did you find him? I bet my son would love him! Thanks for sharing.

Its not a banded goby but might be in the goby family. its called a red lizardfish because his eyes move independently like a chameleon. I believe they get around 4-5" mine stays on the bottom mostly or perches on rocks.

Eyes sound cool! Does he sift sand?

I caught lizard fish while trolling in the gulf of Mexico . They were about 12" max and would attack bait larger than themselves.

I also caught an 18" one off of St George Island, Florida, and man did it have a hundred razor triangular teeth. I cut my line; but not my losses.
