The goby family is the largest family of fish with over 1500 species.
Most live on the sandy bottom, near a burrow that is often shared with a shrimp that maintain it. The goby warns when a danger occurs, allowing the shrimp to hide and the goby to join it.
It's with the Djeddah snapping shrimp that this goby shares his home.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!

Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
