A great Blue Dot Jawfish Goby!
Origin: West Americas

Size info:
Size M: approx. 2.25 - 3.5"

There once was a Blue Dot Jawfish Goby,
Whose diet was mostly tiny roe-gee.
It hides in its burrow,
And can even change color,
With its eyes on top, it's quite a show-bee.

This fish has a unique jaw structure,
That lets it catch prey with no rupture.
It's a master of disguise,
With a bright blue dot surprise,
And its burrow is its own architecture.

Opistognathus rosenblatti is quite rare,
But its beauty is beyond compare.
It's found in the Pacific,
And its burrow is specific,
Oh what a fascinating fishy affair!
