Sand Fish

Gobitrichinotus radiocularis

Sand Fish

A tiny fish of fine coral and muddy sand, the sand fish burrows into soft bottoms in shallow water and turns up in salt, brackish and fresh habitats alike. It reaches only about four centimetres and is of no interest to fisheries beyond the odd accidental catch.
