Sure has the shape of a juvenile crocodile fish.....
But displayed Goby behavior? Sand Diver (Lizard fish) was my guess, but never have seen a juvenile?

If only we had a side photo.....the mouth looks too flattened for a lizardfish....but it is sort of goby behavior, I agree.

Alan, thanks for the post, but I know the ones you posted and the head on this one is very different. Here are two Coral Whip Gobies and as you can see the head is very different! I am still on the hunt, but thanks!
