Island Distribution
Records include the Philippines, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji and Palau. These localities form the retrieved distribution, not a guarantee of occurrence at every intervening reef. Keep the island and exact reef location with any identification photograph.
Sheltered Groups
Fish swim in small groups and can mix with Eviota gobies beneath overhangs or inside large caves. A mixed group does not mean every fish belongs to the same species. The shelter and neighboring fishes add useful context without replacing diagnostic identification.
Tiny Measurements
The maximum reference is two centimeters standard length, excluding the tail. At this scale, an enlarged photograph retaining the complete body and fins is especially helpful. No maximum weight is calculated from the length or supplied from a larger dartfish relative.
Look Closely at Mixed Groups
A cave group can contain more than one kind of small fish. Preserve individual body and fin details rather than labeling the entire group alike.
