Goby-is a Stalix Jawfish 4-29-12-814_the Pier.jpg

unknown Jawfish;Here's a quote from Dr. Smith-Vaniz..opistognathus xxx <br />
"Your jawfish is a species of the genus Stalix. I revised the genus in 1989 when I described four new species of the then 12 total known species. Since then about six more undescribed species have been collected and I am in the process of writing another paper treating all of them. I have seen a few other photographs of the Lembeh Straits Stalix, which is probably most closely related to S. histrio (described from Japan). So far I have only seen photographs of this fish and no specimens have been collected to allow a detailed comparison.<br />
