Red head goby Profile

The Red Head Goby (Elacatinus puncticulatus) is a small, brightly colored marine fish, primarily recognized for its distinct red to orange head that seamlessly transitions into a pale to yellowish body, marked occasionally with small spots. Originating from the Eastern Pacific regions, including areas from the Gulf of California to Panama, it is known for its elongated body and characteristic darting movements. While admired for its striking appearance, the Red Head Goby is not among the most commonly known or widespread species in the aquarium hobby, but it does hold appeal for enthusiasts interested in keeping less common marine gobies.
