Pacific convict goby / Girdled goby

The scientific name of this fish is "Priolepis cincta".
This species stays hidden in small caves,so it's difficult to find them out.
There are many similar species among of the genus Priolepis.
But the mark of their faces resemble each other.
I found this tiny goby at Maeda in 10 ft / 3m.
Its body size is just one inch / 2.5cm.
