Two Tone Dart Goby  Pterelectrus evides

A pair of Two Tone Dart Gobies hover over the reef at the The Labyrinth dive site in Lighthouse Bay on Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth in West Australia.  These fish hover over the reef picking off plankton as it passes by and will dart to their holes if they feel threatened.

Nice shot Chris. Tough lighting/strobe issue given the dark vs. reflective halves of the fish.
Not sure everybody appreciates how hard it is to get close to this particular fish let alone a pair. They aren't called dartfish for nothing.
