In anticipation of his forthcoming Fishes of the Red Sea Jack Randall and fellow Ichthyologists have been busily working on describing new fish species from this region, the latest of which being the handsome goby Tomiyamichthys dorsostigma. We don’t see too many Tomiyamichthys gobies in the aquarium trade these days, nor too many Red Sea fish for that matter but this particular tube-snouted goby is closely related to the Flabelligobius gobies that were all the rage in the aquarium trade about a year ago. Tomiyamichthys dorsostigma is described by Bogorodsky, Kovacic and Randall in the September 2011 issue of Cybium.
