Ptereleotris heteroptera (Bleeker, 1855)
Spot-tail dartfish or Blacktail goby, 14cm

These dartfish are reasonably common on lagoon and seaward reefs, where they tend to hang out in small groups over holes under rocks partially buried in sandy areas, diving into the holes at the approach of danger. The first photo below is from Stan Jazwinski.
