Description
The Antilles Frillfin is a small, bottom-dwelling marine goby known for its excellent camouflage, featuring a mottled brown and white pattern that helps it blend with rocky and sandy substrates. It possesses distinctive frilled pectoral fins and is often observed perching on rocks or utilizing burrows. This hardy species is a good choice for peaceful reef or fish-only aquariums.
