Description
The Cyclops Frillgoby (*Bathygobius cyclopterus*) is a small, camouflaged goby found in the intertidal zones of the Indo-Pacific. It features a mottled brown and tan coloration, allowing it to blend seamlessly with rocky and sandy substrates. This species is known for its ability to "walk" on its pectoral fins and can tolerate fluctuating salinity.
