The Bluespotted Goatfish, Upeneichthys vlamingii is a common fish through all our coastal areas and we personally include it in our list of ‘usual suspects’ when ask what we saw on any typical local dive.

It’s not the prettiest of fish but many are striking colourful and this one looks right at home nestled in a broken jetty pylon at Rapid Bay.
