Gorgeous Goby
oil on handmade wood panel
The Mandarin Goby is small, shy, and passive. They have large pelvic fins with which they "walk" across the ocean floor. They have no scales, but instead have a thick mucous coating that has a repellent smell, thought to help prevent predators from attacking.
