I've been seeing a lot of yellow pygmy gobies lately off Negros Island in the Philippines, my scuba home. The curious thing about these pretty gobies is that the majority of them live in pieces of human trash: bottles, cans, sachets, plastic bags, old textiles. They originally inhabited mollusk shells, but these are so much rarer now than rubbish, at least around here. The oceans in 2025 are a crazy place!

Here is the video with trash-living gobies:
