The Steinitz Goby, Amblyeleotris steinitzi<\/i> is also known as Steinitz’ Prawn Goby, that is a small size species which belongs to the family\u00a0Gobiidae. It is found from the shallow parts of the Red Sea through the\u00a0Indian Ocean\u00a0to the western\u00a0Pacific Ocean. The species inhabits sandy bottoms on seaward reefs and is found at moderate depth of about 20 meters. The Steinitz Goby\u00a0is hardy and highly disease resistant species.<\/span><\/h1>\n

The shrimp being a detritus\u00a0feeder that constantly disturbs the sediments and hence exposes organisms which the Steinitz’ goby feeds upon including mainly small invertebrates and other edible matters.<\/span><\/h1>\n
