Description
Yano's Glidergoby is a peaceful, sand-sifting marine fish recognized by its striking yellow and blue lateral stripes. It actively sifts through the substrate, consuming small invertebrates, and often constructs burrows for shelter. This species thrives in a mature reef or fish-only aquarium with a deep sand bed.
