A feather star

Redeye goby

This goby hovers in groups above Acropora corals and some times rests on the top of their branches like this photo.
It has a transparent body,vivid pink eyes and yellow internal organs.

Redeye goby is common in Okinawa Is. ,usually seen in 16 ft (5m) to 98 ft (30m).

Now I'm worried about its population because most of Acropora corals were dead in this summer due to the coral bleaching.
