Remarks Inhabits open sand, rock, and rubble areas. Often occurs with the bridled goby, Coryphopterus glaucofraenum. Feeds on organisms and organic material by taking sand into its mouth and expelling it through the gill openings, filtering out its food in the process (Ref. 26938). Feeds on plants and invertebrates (Ref. 33). Omnivore (Ref. 57616).
