Seen something very similar caught at a comp last month in Kerry. The lads had it down as a baby dragonet.

Cheers lads - had an offsite id of sand goby too and looking at pics of them I'd say it probably is.

Just to confuse matters...it could be a common goby. Nearly identical species and practically impossible to i.d. without a microscope! :roll:
