ID'd Indian Rock Goby

[Gill]

They Look Like This

With a Dorsal Fin Like This

And Have Black Lines Going Vertically through the Eye

They Are a Champagne White Color, With Black Spots just below the Dorsal.

They were Labelled as - Dusky Mountain Gobies - But dont resemble the Id on Gobies.Com.

Thanks for the Pic,

They Kinda Look like that but more Slender.

Another OB, They are Flashing Like a Cuttlefish Can - Very quick Change in Body Color From White to Grey Marbled pattern and Back Again.

In Very Extremely Rapid Color Changes less than a Second to change patterns.

Do they Adults have Rubber Lips Aswell???

It Also Says they east Small Fish - Will they Eat My BBG's - I hope Not.

The lips in adult fish are quite thick and pronounced, but i wouldnt go as far as saying rubber lipped.

Does the lfs not know what they are?
