Gobiosoma bosc (naked goby) is a fish named for its lack of scales.

The pelvic fins of the naked goby are linked together by a membrane, fitting the purpose of a sucker-like disk.

[citation needed] It ranges in color from a pale yellow to a murky brown, and is variably marked along its body with nine to ten vertical bars, which may not be visible in individuals with very light or dark body coloration.

After they hatch, the free swimming larvae may migrate upstream and school over oyster reefs before settling.

[3] With a terminal mouth and being bottom dwelling fish they are known to eat worms and small crustaceans.
