Description
The Bryaninops annella, also known as the Gorgonian Goby, is a tiny, specialized saltwater fish found in the Indo-Pacific. It lives exclusively on gorgonian corals, often mimicking their color and texture for camouflage. This species is a delicate carnivore, feeding on small zooplankton and copepods.
