    its not a mud skipper coz i its found on rocky beach where i stay. never ever seen them on the rocks. they are extremely fast so it takes time and patience to catch them. me and my friend made a fish trap out of a plastic soda bottle. it took 3 hours to catch 2. they are smart too.

    they say they prefer cooler temp, where i stay, the temp. reaches to around 36C in summers and in winters 24C. they all survive and even there are many White Anthopleura sp. on rocky beaches here.
