Need an ID on this fish

When I bought it I was told it was a yellow prawn goby and it would go great with my tiger pistol shrimp. The moment I put him in he went straight under a rock, two weeks later I finally see him out. I google yellow prawn goby and the picture looks different than this guy, any thought? He's about 2.5 inches long

BTW, when I finally saw the fish, I was expecting to see the shrimp as well, but he was still in the burrow (at least I think hes in there)
