Description
Also known as Bridled Sandgoby, Gudgeon, Sand Goby, Transparent Goby.
Found singly, over grass, rocky, and clear, white sandy areas, in both clear and murky waters, close too deep reefs.
They feed on benthic invertebrates.
Length - 8cm

Widespread Western Atlantic, Caribbean
These Gobies feed by taking a mouthful of sand that is filtered through the gills for tiny creatures.
They make large homes on sandy areas below rocks, with a small entrance that is covered over at night, when predators are near these Gobies dive into the sand and swim through the sand to escape danger. Ref: https://www.fishbase.de/summary/3844
