Description
The Globiceps Goby (*Drombus globiceps*) is a small, robust goby from the Indo-Pacific, known for its relatively large head and mottled body coloration, often adorned with iridescent blue spots or lines. It is a versatile species found in marine, brackish, and even freshwater environments, typically inhabiting coastal areas, estuaries, and river mouths. These bottom-dwelling micro-predators are generally peaceful but can be territorial towards conspecifics.
