Propped up on big fan-shaped pectoral fins like a bulldog on its front legs, this stubby bottom-dweller is speckled in sand-and-pebble camouflage. Turret eyes bulge from the top of its broad, blunt head, a jutting underbite shows two little tusks, and it raises an orange-edged spiny dorsal like a flag, with electric-blue dashes on its cheeks. It is one of the most common fish in the Sunlit Shallows, and bubble trails give its hiding spots away.

How to catch it
Section titled “How to catch it”- Look for rising bubbles: they mark a hotspot where Pebble Goby and its kind bite more often.
- The weather doesn’t change how often it bites.
- When it fights back it mostly runs to the side. Slow your reeling down without stopping, then reel it in while it rests.
