Description
Also known as Sand Gobies.
Found singly or in small groups resting on sandy areas of lagoons and seaward reefs.
They usually blend in with the sand and so are difficult to spot as in these pictures.
They feed on small invertebrates and zooplankton.
Length - 5.5cm
Depth - 5-45m
Widespread Indo-Pacific
Sand Gobies are usually found resting on the sand and feeding by taking mouthfuls of sand which is then filtered through their gills for tiny creatures. (edit)
