Have you ever seen a Purple-eyed Goby (Bryaninops natans)? This small (less than an inch long!) goby is known for its eye-catching bright pink to purple eyes and are associated with Acropora corals. I photographed this individual in Apo Reef Natural Park, Philippines.

Asterropteryx atripes, Yano's Starry Goby. A small goby often seen hovering above small crevices in mixed sand-rubble habitats. I photographed this individual in the Verde Island Passage, Philippines.

Happy Wrasse Wednesday! Here's Hologymnosus doliatus, the aptly named Pastel Ringwrasse typically found in mixed rubble-sand areas. This initial phase female will transition to a more dramatically colored terminal phase male when the conditions are right.

The Squarespot Anthias (Pseudanthias pleurotaenia), the type species for the genus. This anthias is common along steep coral reef drop-offs. Females of this species are garbed in yellow, while males are bright pink and sport the pinkish white square spot.
