Asterropteryx cf ensifera (Bleeker, 1874)
Starry goby, 6.5cm

We saw these at various spots in the Tulamben and Padangbai areas. These have been identified as A. ensifera in iNaturalist but there has also been the suggestion that A. ensifera should have an elongate fin on the third dorsal, which these specimens do not show. The ID for now remains uncertain, and perhaps it would be preferable to list it as Asterropteryx sp.
