Australian Pygmygoby

Trimma necopinum

Australian Pygmygoby

Barely larger than a fingernail, this pygmygoby tucks into caves and crevices on inner reefs and harbour walls, often hanging upside down under rocky overhangs. Like other Trimma it lives a short, fast life, ready to dart back into shelter at any disturbance.
