Reeflings
Genus

Common name: Bryaninops

Scientific name: Bryaninops

Bryaninops is a genus of small, delicate gobies often found in association with various invertebrates such as gorgonians and soft corals. These gobies are known for their symbiotic relationships, where they offer cleaning services to their hosts in exchange for protection. They are typically transparent or have cryptic coloration, which makes them fascinating additions to a reef aquarium. Their small size and peaceful nature make them suitable for nano and pico reefs, but they require stable water conditions and a mature tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding.
