SPRING 2016

SOFT CORAL GOBY

Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia

By Adriano Morettin

I was about to end my dive when my attention was

drawn to something very small that moved and hid

among the branches of a soft coral. I approached to

find two tiny gobies jumping from branch to branch.

I pointed my camera toward part of one branch that

was not covered by polyps and waited patiently until

one of the gobies stopped right in this spot.
