Trimma is a genus of very small fish from the family of goby (Gobiidae). The almost 100 species of this genus live hidden in the coral reefs of the tropical Indo-Pacific .

features

Trimma species are 1.6 to 4 cm long, have a moderately elongated body and are often very brightly colored. One of the diagnostic features of the genus include the absence of pores of the sensory system on the head, large gill slits that up with or even before the Präoperculum rich and the absence of spines on the outer side of the gill rakers of the first gill arch. The dorsal and anal fins are supported by fewer than twelve fin rays. The length of the fifth pelvic fin is over 40% of the length of the fourth fin; it can also be just as long.
