| Black-spotted
lagoon-goby Istigobius goldmanni Family Gobiidae updated Mar 11 Where seen? This pretty goby is seen on some of our shores near reefs and rubble. Features: To about 5cm. Body pale sandy white with many small black spots on the nape. Distinguished by pairs of close-set round black spots along the side of the body. Sometimes mistaken for the Ornate lagoon-goby (Istigobius ornatus) which has 'dashed' lines on the sides of the body instead of pairs of spots. |
