Description
The Shoulderspot Eviota is a tiny, colorful marine goby known for its vibrant red body adorned with iridescent white or yellow spots. It is a shy, peaceful inhabitant of coral reefs, often found perched on corals or rocks. This micro-goby is an excellent choice for nano reef tanks due to its diminutive size and non-aggressive nature.
