Description
Doug's Eviota is a tiny, cryptic saltwater goby known for its vibrant green eyes and mottled brown and white coloration, allowing it to blend seamlessly with sandy or rubble substrates. This micro-predator is found in the Western Pacific and is an excellent candidate for nano reef aquariums. Due to its diminutive size, it requires a stable environment and careful tankmate selection.
