FBname: Bridled goby
Comments: Inhabits clear white sandy areas near deep reefs and grassy and rocky areas.  Burrows in the sand and the male guards the eggs (Ref. 5521).  The Bridled goby, which has X-shaped marks and spots, occurs in both clear and more murky inshore waters, while the paler, very similar Sand goby, <i>Coryphopterus tortugae</i> [= <i>Coryphopterus glaucofraenum</i>], occurs over white sand (Ref. 26938).
