Description
The Headspot Eviota is a tiny, colorful goby native to the Indo-Pacific reefs. It is known for its small size, often reaching only an inch, and its intricate red and white spotting pattern. This peaceful fish is an excellent candidate for nano reef tanks, where it can be observed foraging among live rock and corals.
