Yeah, really cool lookin fish. Beautiful rock he's on too actually, even with, or perhaps because of, the algae.

Gorgeous goby . It's really cool that you caught him. That's also some unusually pretty algae on that rock.

I have seen lots of Goby's and this is the only one I have not seen before, did you catch it in a tidepool in Dubai.

He has been with me for about 2 months and has grown from around 6-7 cm to 9 cm.
