Description
The Bluecoral Ghostgoby (*Pleurosicya mossambica*) is a tiny, translucent marine fish known for its cryptic nature and commensal relationship with soft corals or sponges. Its body often takes on the coloration of its host, providing excellent camouflage. This peaceful species requires a specialized nano reef aquarium with appropriate host corals to thrive.
