A new species of marine goby has been described from Bali, Indonesia. Named the Sponge Frillgoby, the newly discovered species grows to just 36mm in length and has a commensal association with the large barrel sponge (Xestospongia testudinaria). The other 23 species of Bathygobius are typically free-living bottom dwellers, 15 of which come from the Indo-West Pacific.
