Description
The Redhead Goby (*Amblygobius decussatus*) is a striking saltwater fish known for its vibrant reddish-orange head adorned with bright blue and yellow stripes. Its body is typically translucent with dark vertical bars or spots. This peaceful bottom-dweller sifts sand for food and makes an excellent addition to a well-established reef or fish-only aquarium.
