Description
The Hairfin Eviota is a tiny, colorful goby known for its elongated dorsal fin rays, giving it a 'hairy' appearance. These micro-gobies are often found darting among corals and rubble in reef environments, requiring a mature nano reef with plenty of hiding spots and a stable environment.
