Comments: Like other members of the subfamily Gobiinae, this species has a cryptobenthic lifestyle, living at least temporarily sheltered in soft sediment burrows. Its discovery was accidental after being collected with (silty) mud The sediment sample contained agglutinated worm tubes and shells of Atrina chautardi. Live associated fauna comprised a second unidentified fish species and beyond abundant polychaetes, gastropods, bivalves, amphipods and shrimps. A potential burrow-dwelling lifestyle might provide shelter against predators on this relatively flat seafloor lacking any hard substrates (Ref. 130223).
