Tomiyamichthys

Tomiyamichthys is a genus of gobies found from the Red Sea through the Indian Ocean to the western Pacific Ocean. The name of this genus honours the Japanese ichthyologist Itiro Tomiyama of the Tokyo Imperial University, who described the type species, Tomiyamichthys oni, in 1936.[1]

gollark: I do like having an ISP which, while quite slow, happily lets us just download terabytes a month with no problems.
gollark: Oh wow, that is pretty bad.
gollark: Internet connection speeds are mostly measured in Mbps. Which is frustrating, because I mostly use MB.
gollark: In many cases, it's more useful to have a somewhat large binary *now* than a hyperoptimized small one much later.
gollark: We already ran into netsplits or something after one of the two servers went down. This is very IRC.
