Description
The Maori Coralgoby is a small, vibrant saltwater fish recognized by its striking red stripes and spots on a greenish-yellow body. It typically inhabits branching corals, using them for shelter and perching. This species is generally peaceful but can be territorial with conspecifics or similar-looking gobies.
