Description
The Little Glidergoby is a small, peaceful saltwater goby known for its pale body adorned with a prominent yellow lateral stripe. This sand-sifting species constantly sifts through the substrate, making it an excellent cleaner for the sand bed in a reef or fish-only aquarium. It requires a fine sand substrate for burrowing and foraging.
