Goldspot Goby

Found singly, or with the Bridled Goby - Coryphopterus glaucofraenum, over open rock, rubble, and sandy substrates, of coral and rocky reefs.

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.
