Tangaroa goby Profile

The Tangaroa goby (Ctenogobiops tangaroai) is a marine fish distinguished by its cryptic brown body with lighter patches, suitable for blending in with its sandy and rubble habitats. Originating from the Western Central Pacific, including areas like the Great Barrier Reef and Tonga, it is a small species that features a characteristic elongated body and rounded snout. Despite its unique appearance, the Tangaroa goby is not well-known in the aquarium hobby, largely remaining a subject of interest mainly to researchers and enthusiasts of native marine life.
