Bryaninops

Bryaninops (commonly known as sea whip gobies) is a tropical Indo-Pacific genus of gobies. The genus takes its common name from the fact that it is commensal on gorgonians (commonly known as sea whips) and black coral. The genus is further characterised by cryptic colouration.[2]

gollark: Assume there are integers x, y satisfying x²-y²=2(x-y)(x+y)=2x-y, x+y are both integers because they are a sum/difference of integersx, y >= 0 because (-x)²=x² so just ignore negative solutions since they only exist if a positive one does2 has the factors 2,1 so x-y, x+y must be 1, 2 in some orderx-y, x+y differ by 2yx-y, x+y differ by 12y=1y=½But y is an integer
gollark: We are having such advanced intellectual conversations.
gollark: yes.
gollark: Technically.
