Coral goby on the branch of Acropora coral

This tiny goby lives among the branches of Acropora corals.
You will find how small it is comparing it to the size of polyps of the coral.

This photo was taken in Maeda Point, Okinawa Island.
At present, it is hard to find live Acropora coral like this after severe coral bleaching in 1998.
