| Black-spotted
lagoon-goby Istigobius goldmanni* Family Gobiidae updated Sep 2020 Where seen? This pretty slender goby is seen on many of our shores, near reefs and rubble. Features: To about 5cm. Body long slender, pale sandy-white with many small black spots on the nape. Distinguished by a row of pairs of close-set round black spots along the side of the body. Sometimes mistaken for the Ornate lagoon-goby which has 'dashed' lines on the sides of the body instead of pairs of spots. |
