Description
Also known as Gudgeon, Sand Goby.
Found in clear, shallow waters, with low current, over patch reefs of sandy bays.
They feed on benthic invertebrates.
Length - 4.1cm
Depth - 5-30m
Widespread Western Central 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.se/summary/63732
