Description
The Loki Whipgoby is a tiny, slender marine fish known for its commensal relationship with gorgonian corals. It typically has a translucent body adorned with orange to brown speckles, allowing it to camouflage effectively on its host. These peaceful gobies are often seen perched on the branches of their host coral, feeding on passing zooplankton.
