Half-barred Goby

Found singly or in pairs, close to their burrows, sifting through sand with their mouths looking for food, over protected, silty estuaries and lagoons.

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.
