I looked up the goby's common name on my import list. It's given the scientific name of Stiphodon aura. This name is....SURPRISE!!...not valid, and doesn't...

Hi folks. Got these gobies today from my Singapore exporter. They came in as bumphead gobies, Mugilgobius seperata, a name which doesn't seem to exist. Any...
