A great Gumdrop Spotted Croucher Goby!
Origin: Africa / Red Sea

Size info:
Size M: approx. 1.25 - 2.25"

There once was a Gumdrop Spotted Croucher,
Whose colors made all the fish doubt her,
Purple and yellow,
A sight quite mellow,
Her camouflage made predators cower.

With fins that are long and pointed,
Her agility cannot be disjointed,
She can glide through the reef,
Without any grief,
It's no wonder she's so adroited.

And in Madagascar she's found,
Hiding in coral all around,
A master of disguise,
In the underwater guise,
This fish is truly profound.

So if you're lucky to see her one day,
You'll know she's not one to stray,
The Gumdrop Spotted Croucher,
Is a fish without a doubter,
A colorful and cool display.
