Another goby on nudibranch

July 5, 2005
From: Jerry Allen

Hello Bill -
Concerning the recent message about a commensal fish on Ceratosoma trilobatum [#14118] from John Weinberg, here is a photo of mine which was recently on Mike Miller's Slug Site of a goby on Hypselodoris apolegma.

This shot was taken last year (July 2004) at 10 m. in the Lembeh Straits close to the Kungkungan Bay Resort, Indonesia. I would love to hear any discussions regarding this goby behaviour. Photo: Jerry Allen.

Best Regards,
Jerry

Dear Jerry,
Thanks for the photo. It will certainly be interesting to hear what the fish people have to say about this goby. I realise I might sound a bit desperate to suggest two cases of a transparent goby on a nudibranch is a pattern, but it certainly worth suggesting we all keep out eyes open more more examples
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
