A tiny cleaning shrimp
on the Metallic shrimpgoby

I've ever talked about this goby in " Weekly Gallery vol.9"
This goby hovers in groups above Acropora corals and some times rests on the top of their branches like this photo.
I took its head-on photo this time
I think I can express its cuteness more than the previous one.

Now the fear about the decrease of its population becomes a reality because of the coral bleaching.
I could usually see this goby in summer,but now I can't see it in shallow water.I saw just one group at a depth of 98ft / 30m yesterday.
