This �-inch-long, almost transparent, fish is a Michel�s Goby (Pleurosicya micheli). Like most gobies, it is found resting on coral or sound. Here, it is resting on the common lobe coral (Porites lobata) at a depth of around 50 feet. The first description of the Michel�s Goby was not made until 1970.

This goby was photographed in about 20 feet of water off the south Kohala Coast near the Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.
