Description
The Striped Eviota is a tiny, peaceful goby characterized by its translucent body and a prominent dark horizontal stripe. Often found perched on corals or rocks, it is a micro-predator that feeds on zooplankton and small invertebrates. This species is an excellent choice for well-established nano reef aquariums.
