Kelloggella disalvoi
- Group: Goby
- Max size: 3.3 cm
- For divers: safe
- IUCN status: LC
This tiny goby lives where almost nothing else can, in the highest intertidal pools and the splash zone above the tide line where water sits no deeper than ten centimetres. It rides out wild swings in heat and salinity that would kill most reef fish.
