I beleive it's a Neon Goby.
Dan.... Wait. Don't quote me on that yet. All the pics I see of neon gobies are black on top. Unless it just cant be seen due to the pic. Let someone else chime in to verify.
it's a wrasse...not a goby, nice looking fish!

Apologies. I jumped the gun when I couldnt find it on live aquaria or saltwaterfish.com.
It's also known as the Bluestreak or Blue Cleaner Wrasse
It wasnt labeled when he purchased it?

What size tank do you have and what fish? They basically will clean your fish to such a degree they can cause fish to jump out of your tank or stress. They also don't really do well in captivity. There have been studies that show when removed from a reef, the health of the reef crashes. Don't mean to be a downer, but you might want to do a lot of reading on them, they are not the easiest fish to keep.
LOL well i am screwed basicly i have a 55g a yellow tang, 2 tomato clowns and 2 purple firefish and some pain in the ass damsels that i want DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
My dad bought it and he knows nothing about a fish tank and just dumped it in well he is still alive is the miricale. Preety neat fish tho.

Your dad did a good deed, but I honest dont recommend that others buy you livestock. This case is no exception, I heard that these cleaner wrasses are difficult to care for. Just make sure to do some research Dan, hopefully he thrives. Make sure to let people know before they buy something for you, or just ask for a giftcard 
If you can take the fish back I would strongly suggest it. If it won't eat it is going to starve. Better you get a fish that can live in your tank.
The goby on the other side is a great fish to keep. I just got a pair from AO that are in my QT and they are little pigs and very interesting to watch.
