Amblygobius is a genus of gobies often found in reef and lagoon environments. These small, bottom-dwelling fish are known for their peaceful nature and sand-sifting behavior, which can help maintain a clean substrate in the aquarium. They typically have elongated bodies and display a variety of colors and patterns. Amblygobius species are generally hardy and can adapt to a range of conditions, making them suitable for many reef aquariums. They often form symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp, which adds an interesting dynamic to their behavior in captivity.
