Say hello to my little friend

Hidey-hole
Hello, little goby fish. A skittish little guy, whose head is no bigger than the size of the tip of my little finger. Approach and he’ll hide in his dug-out hole, just watching. This is in shallow water, so the reds still come out. Hard to spot sometimes, but these guys are fun to watch.
Some species live symbiotically with a near-blind, burrowing shrimp. The shrimp effectively builds the couple’s home while the fish keeps watch.
