The Black-lined Sleeper Goby (Valenciennea helsdingenii) is common on sheltered reefs and estuaries throughout the Indo-Pacific. They are usually seen in pairs of small groups, and I was lucky to photographed these two here perfectly lined up! #ichthyology #NastyGoby #Indonesia
It's #NastyGoby time! The Peppermint Goby (Coryphopterus lipernes) is found in the entire Caribbean Sea and was common in Curacao. However, this species is probably declining everywhere because its preferred habitat is the surface of live corals. #ClimateChange #CoralReefs
Two of the nastiest #NastyGoby species!
Just in case you wanted to know how many #nastygoby species are there, Doug Hoese is here to give the answer: way too many! #ipfc11 #ipfc2023
We spend so much time decompressing in shallow water that sometimes we have a chance to get great images! In this case I managed to make a #nastygoby look good! Trimma taylori, 10m depth, Maldives. #PerpetualPlanet #ichthyology
