Blueband Goby [Valenciennea strigata]
Description
Blueband Gobies are often seen hovering just above sandy bottoms, where they watch for movement and retreat quickly into burrows. Divers may notice their striking blue banding and, in many areas, their close relationship with a burrow-dwelling partner.
