Goby

Goby is a type of small fish found in oceans, freshwater, and brackish environments. Known for their diverse shapes and colors, they often inhabit sandy or muddy bottoms, sometimes living in burrows or hiding among rocks and coral. Many gobies have a fused pelvic fin that forms a disc, helping them cling to surfaces. They play important roles in their ecosystems by controlling invertebrate populations and serving as prey for larger animals. Some gobies form symbiotic relationships with other marine creatures, such as cleaner shrimp or sea anemones, highlighting their adaptability and ecological significance.
