LOL Marta! :D I was waiting for the "housekeeper" to show up, but it didn't.
Hehee..I made the comment w/o looking at the name: obvious "prawn" goby..the prawn must be inside cooking something for dinner :-D
It looks like the type of gobies that live associated with shrimps. Did you see a shrimp in the hole?
Thanks for the ID, jgorneau! @ClementDufour - Thanks for the suggestion, but I think jgorneau got it right.
Yeah and they come in different colors! :) Do you notice that fan shape on its back? I'm not sure anymore whether it's part of the goby's anatomy or not...
