Healthy goby?

Today I got a yellow watchman goby from liveaquaria, and he has a brown line near his mouth. Is this normal? I've never seen this in any pictures of these fish so I wanna make sure he doesn't have some kind of disease.

Apparently not... he died today :(

 

Gotta say I'm not crazy about buying fish online. Going to check out my LFS this week, hopefully they have one in stock.

This is my own opinion, but try to get another shrimp goby. Yellow watchmen colors are kind of dull.

Yeah I might. What kind of goby typically sifts your sand a lot and has nice colors?

:huh: I guess you could say some are brownish yellow or green yellow, and females are grayish...

My homie has a pair of YWG and one day one of them changed colors to a totally different looking fish.

Just found this article. Maybe they are now a mated pair (female being larger and gray). Breeding may occur!
