Eviota melasma
Eviota melasma, commonly called headspot eviota or melasma pygmy goby among various other vernacular names, is a species of marine fish in the family Gobiidae.[2] The headspot eviota has been documented only in Australia; records of the fish elsewhere are thought to be misidentifications.[3] The fish is found on offshore reefs and coastal reefs,[4] just below the tidal zone.[5] The headspot eviota is a small-sized fish, growing up to 30 millimetres (1.2 in) length.[6] It is a semi-transparent pygmy goby marked with irregular rufous internal bars along the length of its body, with a black spot above the opening of the gills, irregular reddish blotches on its nape, and three reddish blotches which are separated by whitish barring on the belly. It also has a thin white stripe at the base of the pectoral fin.[4] References
