Hydroginella caledonica (Jousseaume, 1876) can parasitize sleeping fishes of the families Scaridae, Serranidae and Pomacentridae at coral reefs in New Caledonia by night. This snail is able to inserts its proboscis in the fish fleash and probably pumps some body fluids.[2]

Species

Species within the genus Hydroginella include:

gollark: For projects needing a consistent stream of random values I also have a bunch of simulations of web developers using vim.
gollark: Anyway, when I need a really good RNG I just put a few pages from *A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates* (the random digits bit, obviously, not the normal deviates) into my code.
gollark: I see.
gollark: You should probably be using a sane crypto library and not writing your own RSA if you actually want security.
gollark: The main reason I use the web platform despite its many many problems is the very nice GUI capability.
