Periophthalmus

Periophthalmus, a genus of small fishes allied to the Gobies, with a few species from the shores of the Indo-Pacific. Their ventral and pectoral fins enable them to move pretty freely over mud-banks, which they frequent at low tide to hunt for small shell-fish, and their prominent eyes are suited for vision in air as well as in water.
