Although goby-like in many ways, sleeper gobies lack the pelvic fin sucker and that, together with other morphological differences, is used to distinguish the two families. The Gobiidae and Eleotridae likely share a common ancestor and they are both placed in the order Gobiiformes, along with a few other small families containing goby-like fishes.
The Butidae are one of the two families which are given the common name "sleeper gobies", and indeed were formerly classified as subfamily of the traditional sleeper goby family Eleotridae, although some phylogenies have placed them closer to the Oxucerdidae and the Gobiidae than to the Eleotridae.
Eleotris melanosoma, the broadhead sleeper or dusky sleeper, is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae native to marine, fresh, and brackish waters from coastal eastern Africa through southern Asia to the islands of the western Pacific Ocean. This species can reach a length of 26 cm (10 in).

Movie 56" Felt Grey Sleeper Sofa. Low-key and low-profile, this sleeper chair is quite unassuming. You’d never guess that underneath the cushion, you’d find a 5.25-inch coil/foam mattress that ...
Sleeper goby may refer to three families of goby formerly classified as part of the single family Eleotridae, and a genus from the family Gobiidae: Milyeringidae, a family of Gobiiform cave fish from Western Australia and Madagascar; Butidae, an Old World family of gobies
