Rudolf Svensen Black goby (Gobius niger) eats sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus). The whole thing happened very fast and I managed two shots before the sand goby was gone. Nikon D300 in Subal housing, two Subtronuc flashes, manual setting, f11, 1/250 , iso 200. Image captured during a night dive in Norway.
Alistair Merrifield Great timing - you are lucky to come across behaviour like this!
Erling Svensen I have some problems with this one. Flabellina something, but what? All help is appreciated....
Arne KuilmanFlabellina pellucida, see http://www.seawater.no/fauna/mollusca/Fpellucida.html (I assumend you saw in in Norway?)
Christian Skauge I agree I think - a very pale F. pellucida :-)
Gonçalo Calado it resembles a lot Calma glaucoides, or Calma gobioophaga. Was it on a fish spawn?
Erling Svensen Clever people in this group. Thanks!
Erling Svensen Sitting on a kelp leaf. Very small one, only 1 cm long.
John de Jong Nice pic.
Torjus Haukvik I was also thinking Calma. If thats correct, it's the 4th documented find in Norway.
Torjus Haukvik C. glaucoides to be spesific.
João Pedro Silva Here's a recent shot of C. gobioophaga:

Erling Svensen I agree, I DO looks like the C. glaucoides. http://www.seaslugforum.net/showall/calmglau
David Kipling The cerata have the wrong "feel" for a Flabellina. They seem to be in vertically-held pairs (or threes), and are quite thick. I've never seen a Calma but I agree it is a much better match. How exciting!
Torjus Haukvik I looked at the description in Thompson and Brown (1984), and the description on Sea Slug Forum how to distinguish if from C. gobioophaga, and I would say C. glaucoides.
Gonçalo Calado The picture matches C. glaucoides, yes, despite propodial tentacles are a bit larger that I'm used to. Friele & Hansen (1875) described this species for the Norwegian coasts as Eolis albicans, but the original description matches that of Alder & Hancock (1845-55).
Becky Hitchin gobioophaga? does it eat goby eggs?
Gonçalo Calado Yes. At least Gobius niger in Portugal
Becky Hitchin ah, it's nice when the Latin makes sense :)
Gonçalo Calado That was the point when naming the new species ;)
David Kipling Doris inconspicua. Still haven't found one of those ...
Darryl Mayer Can anyone find me an ID for this beautifully dark specimen? Loch Sunart in 12m of water. Cheers
Chris Barrett My guess would be a rock goby, Gobius paganellus)
Chris Barrett The lighter band along the top of the first dorsal fin is distinguishing of this species
Andy HortonGobius paganellus
Marco Faasse I don't know of other native gobies with a yellow/orange/ margin to the dorsal fins than the rock goby, Gobius paganellus.
Chris Barrett My comments seem to have gone, but yes, definitely Gobius paganellus
Marco Faasse Maybe too many comments at the same moment, Chris. Andy and me replied in the same second, and maybe you too.
Darryl Mayer Many thanks guys. Rock Gobies in the books I have all seem to be much lighter in shading/colour. This really was this dark/black. Cheers.
Andy Horton I think this may be the male darkening up in breeding livery. But the Rock Goby is generally blacker than the Black Goby, Gobius niger, which also goes black in breeding livery.
Sharon Hills lovely pic :-)
