Another Escaping Goby
I filmed a shrimp goby escaping; this time the species was Amblyeleotris gymnocephala. I hadn’t filmed this rather rare species showing this behavior before. Always satisfying to get footage like this. A lot has to come together, a dive where I encounter the fish, a decent approach to the fish, having the right camera settings in place quickly enough and the framing of the scene.
This short clip I uploaded to Twitter, not YouTube, as usual. Check it out:

And, if you like gobies, you should of course get this newly released book of mine which I am very excited about. Available on pre-sale via Asian Geographic:
