Gobitrichinotus radiocularis is a species of goby which is found in the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Ryukyu Islands in Japan, Philippines, the Solomon Islands, French Polynesia, and Vanuatu. [1] [2]
This species of goby can reach a length of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) TL. [2] The caudal fin is rounded. It has 5 dorsal spines, between 18 and 19 dorsal soft rays, 1 anal spine, and 14 anal soft rays.
Gobitrichinotus radiocularis inhabits salt, brackish, and fresh waters. It lives in shallow areas with substrates of fine coral sand or muddy sand, in which it burrows. It has been recorded at depths between 2–25 metres (79–984 in). [1]
The sand goby, also known as a polewig or pollybait, is a species of ray-finned fish native to marine and brackish waters European waters from the Baltic Sea through the Mediterranean Sea and into the Black Sea where it occurs in sandy or muddy areas of inshore waters at depths of from 4 to 200 metres. This species can reach a length of 11 centimetres (4.3 in) TL. This species is sometimes kept in public aquariums. The sand goby is of a sandy colour, with darker markings on the sides and a creamy-white underside.

The racer goby is a species of goby native to fresh, sometimes brackish, waters, of the Black Sea basin. It is a Ponto-Caspian relict species.

Sicyopterus lagocephalus, the red-tailed goby or blue stream goby, is a species of goby native to islands of the Indian Ocean from the Comoros to the Mascarene Islands to the Pacific Ocean where it reaches French Polynesia and can be found as far north as Japan. It is an amphidromous species: adults can be found in swift-flowing streams with rocky beds but the eggs hatch at sea and the larval stage remains in marine waters, migrating to freshwaters when they reach the postlarval stage. This species can reach a total length of 13 cm (5 in). In some places it is an important species for local consumption with the post-larvae being caught as they mass in estuaries.
