The substrata at Kawana Beach is silty,so there is a little difficulty in taking photos.But bad visibility brings us the chance to taking photos of shy species.
Under bad condition,shy species reduces its shyness.
This is the photo taken under such condition.
This goby is common at Kawana,but it is so beautiful,you know.

= Infomation from GOBY FRONTIERS =
In the near future, this type of goby commonly occurs from Japan will be described as a different species from V. mertensi that was originally taken from Red Sea.
