Description
The Mural Glidergoby is a small, elongated saltwater fish characterized by its horizontal reddish-brown stripes and a distinct black spot on its first dorsal fin. It is a sand-sifting goby that often forms a symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp, sharing a burrow. This species requires a mature aquarium with a deep sand bed.
