Antilligobius Explained

Antilligobius is a genus of goby. It contains only the species Antilligobius nikkiae, the sabre goby, which is native to deep waters of the western Atlantic Ocean.[1] The specific name honours Nicole Laura Schrier, the daughter of the owner of the Sea Aquarium in Curaçao, who collected many of the type specimens.[2]
