The Yellow Pygmy-goby (Lubricogobius exiguus) is a tiny, colorful fish found in coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. This goby species is typically less than an inch long and has a bright yellow body with distinctive blue stripes. Its small size and striking colors make it a popular subject for underwater photography.

Catalina Goby aka Bluebanded Goby (Lythrypnus dalli)

$Yellow Pygmy-Goby Lubricogobius exiguus occurs in the subtropical and tropical Western Pacific from southern Japan to Indonesia in a depth range from 5 100m, max. length 4cm. \n\nThere are a lot of bottles at the bottom of the Lembeh Strait. Of course, throwing bottles into the sea is not a good idea. But at least glass is chemically inert and bottles are welcome shelters for small fishes, crustaceans and cephalopods. \n\nLubricogobius exiguus is a microhabitat specialist goby that inhabits benthic substrates such as barnacle shells and empty glass bottles on sandy or muddy bottoms, either in pairs or singly. No wonder, in seven or eight out of ten cases bottles are inhabited by Yellow Pygmy-Gobies.\n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'8.916 N 125°14'39.102 E at 24m depth$

Mandarin Fish (Synchiropus splendidus) - Marine fish

$Flagtail Shrimpgoby Amblyeleotris yanoi occurs in the tropical Western Pacific from Bali to the Ryukyu Islands in a depth range from 3-35m, max. length 13cm for the male, 5.5cm for the female. The species is associated with Alpheus randalli, the Red-banded Alpheid Shrimp. This species has many common names like Candy Pistol Shrimp, Red Banded Pistol Shrimp or Snapping Shrimp. These shrimps make a burrow under liverock, which will be shared with a goby typically from the Amblyeleotris or Stonogobiops genera in a symbiotic relationship. Because these shrimp have poor eye sight, the goby acts as a look out for predators while the shrimp provides a home for the goby; both also benefit in sharing food resources. These shrimps are carnivores. They also act as cleaner shrimp for the goby partner, as the photographer was able to observe.\nTriton Bay, Indonesia, 3°53'58.5456 S 134°6'26.28 E at 14m depth$
