| Frill-fin
goby Bathygobius sp. Family Gobiidae updated Sep 2020 Where seen? This pretty spotted goby is commonly seen on many of our shores, in rocky shores, coral rubble and reefs. Features: 4-7cm long. It has bulging cheeks and a pattern of tiny white spots regularly spaced on its face and in rows down its body. Usually a pair of dark saddles, as well as dark blotches, along the body length. The most commonly seen frill-fin gobies on our shores are the Common frill-fin goby (Bathygobius fuscus) and Meggitt's frill-fin goby (Bathygobius meggitti) which look very similar. |
