I’ve been looking through my images of late and noticed that there’s a distinct correlation between my age and the frequency of macro shots of fish. In fact, in the last few years, any close-ups tend to be sessile invertebrates only. I guess I simply can’t see the tiny fishes anymore with my current contact lens prescription/diving mask interaction. So, in case I never see ‘em again, here are some tiny fish from the Red Sea. 
Secondly, I have what I think is Pleurosicya mossambica, the Common Ghost goby. These are super abundant and are always found resting up on corals including Milleporids (fire corals). These fish seem to almost live a two-dimensional existence, and as you approach some corals you can see them scooting away across the coral’s surface as if attached to it.
My last fish isn’t as tiny as the others, but it is adorable. This is Ecsenius dentex, the Dentex Blenny. My guide book suggests this fish is from the Gulf of Aqaba only, but I’m sure this image was taken a little further south, into the main part of the northern Red Sea. The similar E. nalolo replaces it from the central Red Sea down the coast of Africa.
