Multisaddle Pygmy Goby

Known from a single fish found at the base of a sloping mud bottom among scraps of metal wreckage, this pygmy goby shelters inside small enclosed grottos. It either rests on the bottom or hovers just above it, and after thirty eight hours of diving nearby no second individual was seen.
