Toadfish goby
Species of fish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The toadfish goby (Cryptopsilotris batrachodes) is a species of bony fish in the family Gobiidae which is found in areas of sandy substrates among coral reefs.[2] It occurs in the western Atlantic Ocean from the Bahamas south through the Caribbean Sea as well as along the Central and South American coast from Belize to Santa Marta, Colombia.[1] It is the only species in the monotypic genus Cryptopsilotris,[3] although it was formerly classified under Psilotris and its generic name means "hidden Pilotris", meaning that it was hidden within that genus.[4]
