I am kinda surprised to see that. You would think the fish would be smart enough to move if it starts to get eaten. Those corals are very slow moving and from what I know ( aint much  ) they don't have powerful stingers like an anemone. (shrug)
Sorry,
Jim | |

Sorry,
Jim | That's what I was thinking. Perhaps the goby was dead or dying before the brain ate it? I guess we'll never know  | |
