Wire Coral Goby (Bryaninops yongei)
These tiny fish live on wire corals which are unbranched relatives of black corals which grow at deeper depths here in Hawaii. A band of the coral cleared of living tissue that the goby uses to deposit its eggs can often be seen before the almost translucent goby.
Yet another reason to take a camera out there with you on your dives. It really makes you slow down and appreciate the small stuff.
