An estuarine species, usually only found resting on the bottom in areas with regular freshwater input, but occasionally found on sheltered coastal reefs near river mouths. Slender bodied, with a more pointed snout than similarly marked estuarine gobies. Has an unusual ability to bend at its 'neck', allowing the head to point in a direction almost perpendicular to the rest of the body.
