Description
The Lobed Ghostgoby is a tiny, cryptic marine fish known for its commensal relationship with large polyp stony corals like Goniopora. It features a translucent body adorned with iridescent green and brown markings, providing excellent camouflage against its coral host. This peaceful species is a fascinating addition to nano reef aquariums.
