Anyone know what type of Gobies these are?

My LFS is doing away with all brackish fish so I grabbed these for 50% off. They had them labeled as Gobies so I have no idea what type they are.

Hard to say. I did find this guide here.

It's a picture intensive site though.

Thanks for the link!

I looked at all of the pics and this one is the closest:

Although it does seem the goby has a more rounded face and the dorsal fin appears to be a little different as well.

I thought the Day's goby and Tropical sand goby also looked quite similar. The Chinstripe goby seems to have more protruding eyes than the ones you have. I'm sure someone will have the answer but I'm stumped

Maybe baby Knight Gobies?

I don't think baby Knights. Baby knights have the same patterning as the adults. I would guess somewhere in the Mogurnda family, not sure which but they resemble them. Anyway, hope this helps and good luck!

I can't find any info on a purple spotted goby, I found some on a purple spotted gudgeon but I'm not convinced these are gudgeons.

Have any info?

The purple spotted goby is generally (this is why I hate common names ) the same thing as Mogurnda mogurnda. Look that up and you will see the common name as Purple Spot Goby/Gudgeon! Hope this helps and good luck.
