Description
The Twospot Sandgoby is a peaceful saltwater fish known for its distinctive "eyespots" on its dorsal fins and its constant sand-sifting behavior. It requires a mature aquarium with a deep sand bed to thrive, where it sifts through the substrate for small invertebrates. This species is best kept singly or in a mated pair.
