Yellow Hairy Goby

Paragobiodon xanthosoma

Description:

Paragobiodon is a genus of gobies native to reef habitats of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. They are small, around 4-5 cm in size. Mostly live in pairs in their habitat/host corals. During the dive, you will not be able to make out the 'hairiness' on the face of this fish.

Habitat:

Usually in the shallow waters among stag horn corals, which makes it really very difficult to take pictures of them and its nearly impossible to take pictures of the whole fish.
