Lubricogobius tunicatus是加入这个迷人的湿润群体的最新物种。在巴布亚新几内亚的米尔恩湾发现了柔滑的巨型戈比，这增加了在世界的生物多样性地区继续发现的一长串物种。
Like all otherLubricogobius,L. tunicatus与它可以隐藏的东西密切相关，并且该物种偏爱束缚物，也就是海洋喷水。它被发现生活在20到28米（65-90英尺）之间的深度，深处，始终与大型相关Polycarpatunicates.
In keeping with the theme of slippery gobies,Lubricogobius tunicatusis also small and yellow. This species grows to just 11mm long, not even half an inch, but still larger than thenano slippery goby, Lubricogobius nanus, which was described just over a year ago.
The description of the tunicate slippery goby also documents the first reports of the ornate slipper goby,Lubricogobius ornatus, from Lembeh, Indonesia. This species had previously only been found in the Western Pacific, from Japan and Vietnam to Northwest Australia, but this is the first record of this species in the East Indies.
Although tiny, slippery gobies are a favorite subject of underwater photographers. The ornate slippery goby is now the sixth known species ofLubricogobiusand it is described by Allen & Erdmann in the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation. [JOSF]
