Kasai's coral goby

It was one cold day in the winter that  I found a tiny creature sleeping among the branches of coral.

Kasai's coral goby was the name of this fish,whose scientific name is Paragobiodon kasaii.Kasai is tha name of Japanese famous diver,and I've ever dive with him.

A similar species to Black fin coral goby
( Paragobiodon lacunicolus),but we can easily distinguish them by the color of their Pectoral fin.Kasai's coral goby is transparent,and Black fin coral goby is black.
