Info
Callogobius stellatus is mainly found on seabeds with coral rubble, on which it is much less noticeable than on sandy surfaces due to its color pattern and basic coloration.
The goby is characterized by a white head and body and prominent dark brown bands.
The bands run under the first dorsal fin and in the middle of the second dorsal fin, under the origin of the second dorsal fin is a dark brown saddle
can be seen
Nape and operculum show brown bars; three brown bands run radiating from the eye.
The caudal fin is mostly covered by a large brown area and rounded,
Cycloid scales are visible on the head and body, cheek and operculum.
So far nothing worth reporting is known about the biology of the goby.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
