It is possible that <i>V. mertensi</i> is confined to the Red Sea and western Indian Ocean. Tentatively only <i>Vanderhorstia dorsomacula</i> is recognised from Australia, but further work is needed on the genus in Australia (AFD draft text, 13.9.18).","habitat":"Coastal (0-40m)<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"","Parent_Id":37428994,"scientificName":"Vanderhorstia dorsomacula","kingdom":"Animalia","order":"Perciformes","otherVernacularNames":"slender shrimp goby","Reference":"","vernacularName":"Slender Shrimpgoby","ChildCodes":"","RecordCreatedOn":"1997-01-01","scientificNameID_WoRMS":"urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:277377","family":"Gobiidae","standardName":"Slender Shrimpgoby (AS5300)","class":"Actinopterygii","scientificNameID_AFD":"","CAAB_status":"Valid"}
