Crosshatch Goby

Found in pairs, close to their burrows, over muddy, rubble and sand flats, of inshore bays, lagoons, and coastal reefs.
They feed on tiny invertebrates by shifting mouthfuls of sand to capture their prey.

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.
