Distribution
Tropical Indo-Pacific
Description
Small, translucent reddish goby, internal gold stripes from snout along body, white stripe from pectoral fin along belly. Differs from other Eviota species in that it often hovers a small distance above the substrata. Australian records of the very similar E. pellucida are believed to be mis-identifications of this species.
Information
Max Size: 2 cm
Sea Temperature Range: 28.7-30.8°C
Depth: 3-20m
Habitat Generalization Index: 0.85
Also referred to as the SGI (Species Generalisation Index), this describes the habitat niche breadth of the species. Species with values less than 15 are found in a relatively narrow range of reef habitat types (specialists), while those over 25 may be found on most hard substrates within their range (generalists).

Conservation and Rarity
IUCN Status: Not Evaluated
Occurrence: Common (23.3% of sites)
Occurrence describes how often the species is found on surveys within its distribution. It is calculated as the % of reef sites surveyed by RLS divers across all the ecoregions in which the species has been observed
Abundance: Many (14 per transect)
Abundance is calculated as the average number of individuals recorded per RLS transect, where present.
