    Found one of these guys at my LFS and scooped him up fast. I hear that they are a rare find in the saltwater hobby, so I didn't want to miss the chance. He hid the whole time I had him yesterday but was out this morning when the lights came on. Very pretty little guy.

    Thanks everyone. I was actually looking in the tank next to the one this trimma was in and I was actually going to get one of the red eyed trimma gobies... and the guy was actually in the middle of catching it, but then I saw this guy move in the corner of my eye in the next tank and I knew exactly what he was and told him that I would rather have this guy instead :p and he was the only one in the tank. I asked the guy if he gets these red spot gobies in often and he said that when he orders trimmas that it is randomized because he sells them all at the same price, so he doesn't remember if he gets these specific ones in regularly with the order or not. But you would think if he got them in with every order he would remmeber having them all the time. The whole time I have been going to that LFS I don't ever remember him having these red spot trimmas. He always has red eyed trimmas though. So, I think it was lucky that I happened to go into the store that day. :D
