Pleurosicya cf mossambica Smith, 1959
Toothy goby, 3cm

This goby is common in Halimeda algae patches on the lagoon side of Kwajalein Island. Both of those below were photographed by Jay Lord. While the fish resembles a couple of the photos of P. mossambica on Fishbase, it does not really look like that species from other references, and even looks a bit like some of our species of Eviota. So for now we are leaving the identification tentative.
