i pulled this out of portrush harbour last summer and havent been able to postively identify it as of yet
using the very handy mini species guide the closest match would be a black goby but im not 100% convinced
any opinions would be welcome
sorry for the quality but my camera doesnt do well in the dark

Re: species id
Hard to tell from the pictures but I am 90% sure that is a leopard spotted goby. Definitly not a black goby.

KStaff winning matches is the new black.
