Common name: Goby Eel

Scientific name: Gobioclinus

Gobioclinus is a genus of small, elongated fish commonly known as Goby Eels due to their eel-like appearance. They belong to the family Labrisomidae and are found in the Western Atlantic, from Florida to Brazil. These fish are characterized by their slender bodies, small scales, and a continuous dorsal fin. They are cryptic species, often hiding among rocks and rubble in shallow reef environments. Gobioclinus species are fascinating for their ability to blend into their surroundings, making them a unique addition to a reef aquarium. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with other non-aggressive tank mates.
