Giant Shrimp Goby Amblyeleotris fontanesii

From my dive in Thailand, found this shrimp goby, they live with a shrimp in it's burrow where they act as watch dog for the shrimp.  I'm reasonably certain of the ID, but finding good references is a problem, they generally show a photo but not much on distinguishing markings to be sure of ID.
