Lubricogobius tunicatusis the newest species to join this fascinating group of slippery gobies. The Tunicate Slippery Goby was discovered in Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea, adding to the long list of species that continue to be discovered in this biodiverse part of the world.
像其他所有Lubricogobius,L. tunicatusis closely associated with something it can hide in, and this species has a preference for tunicates, aka sea squirts. It was found living on silty bottoms at a depth of between 20 to 28 meters (65-90 feet) deep, always associated with largepolycarpa双线线。
为了符合湿润的主题,Lubricogobius tunicatus也小而黄色。该物种长到11毫米,甚至不到半英寸,但仍然比Nano Slippery Goby,Lubricogobius Nanus,这是一年多以前的描述。
调皮湿滑的描述还记录了《华丽拖鞋戈比》的第一份报告Lubricogobius Ornatus,来自印度尼西亚的莱姆贝。该物种以前仅在西太平洋,从日本和越南到澳大利亚西北部发现,但这是东印度群岛该物种的第一张记录。
虽然很小,湿滑的羊毛是水下摄影师最喜欢的主题。华丽的湿滑哥比现在是已知的第六种Lubricogobius艾伦(Allen&Erdmann)在《海洋科学基金会》杂志上描述了它。[[JOSF这是给予的
