A tiny cleaning goby sits on the surface of a brain coral. The goby has a black upper half, white lower half and a yellow stripe down each side of its head to the eyes, which fade into white-ish blue stripes down the rest of its side.

These tiny cleaner gobies are super common in the Caribbean, but I liked the textured background of the brain coral.

Sometimes, when you put feels out in the universe, She listens. We've got 2 Geolycosa on museum grounds but I've only been able to get obscure shots of them in the tunnels. Yesterday, I met a local lady who brought me this beautiful young Geolycosa!

Morning surprise: I was laying out beach finds, to dry, and this little guy appeared and was STILL ALIVE?! No critters harmed 🙌🏼 so of course he got a fancy little setup to include “food” until I go release him #video #nature #tinycritters #crab #beach #beachcombing #wildlife
