Can anyone give me an ID of this little guy? I can't seem to find him in my books. Probably some juvenile form of a common goby (considering his tiny size)..

What about Masked/Glass Goby (Coryphopterus personatus/hyalinus)? (Humann (p250))
Ive never seen on perched on a coral like that but maby that's where juviniles hang out.

Thanks, William. I must have missed that page when going through the book. It certainly resembles the masked/glass goby and the description matches.
I hope you fared okay through Katrina. Her timing was impeccable... During the weekend of the coral spawning in the Keys. Needless to say all the dive operators I called cancelled their trips even for tonight. You'd think they let a couple of ripples in the tub hinder them from getting out to the shallow reefs.
If I would have known it would turn out this way I would have begun to inflate my Sears two-man raft earlier in the week to get out there.. That's two years in a row that the weather ruins my opportunity to catch the spawning. -
Well, that makes it 2 years in a row my chances of seeing the spawing were ruined by ignorance before the weather had a chance to...

LOL! Just remember... 7-10 days after the full moon in August at around 10-10:30pm seems to be the magical time for the star coral party.

I tryed that last year (well not an inflatable) when I got fed up with week after week all the dive operators not going out because of the weather.
Turned out that I wasnt missing much. The 10 ft vis ruined any hope of WA and the heavy surge made macro impossible.
