This approximately 1" fish spends their entire life on wire coral strands. They have also been known to spend time on substitutes,,,pipes, wire strands, etc. Those I have observed run up and down the coral, and will not leave, They have a symbiotic relationship with the coral...the goby has a place to live, and in exchange they protect the coral against various small pests. This spotting was deep, at about 110'.
This spotting was off the west coast of the big island, Hawaii,
