Looks like a relatively safe fish. Not much out there in regards to information besides what is found on LA...

Yeah that's what I'm figuring out.

Pretty cool looking thing.

Hmm, is this the Curious Wormfish (Gunnelichthys curiosus), which LA says:

"is also referred to as the Rainbow Goby, the Neon Worm Goby, and the Yellow-striped Worm Eel. The Curious Wormfish has orange and metallic blue stripes running the length of its body.

A tank of at least 30 gallons or larger with a sandy bottom will provide a healthy environment, as this fish tends to bury itself in soft substrate both at night and when startled. The Curious Wormfish may be kept as an individual or in small groups, but all need to be introduced to the tank simultaneously and have plenty of swimming room. Its tankmates should be peaceful, as it is easy prey for more aggressive fish."

If so, sounds like a pretty cool addition to a non bare-bottomed tank.

I've seen the curious worm and a few others. But this specific species I've never heard of before.

I bought it.
