Info
Arenigobius leftwichi inhabits sandy and gravelly areas, silty-sandy areas, and oyster beds in intertidal zones.
Its coloration blends well with its surroundings, making it difficult to spot in its natural habitat.
This goby is often observed alone or in small groups (Allen and Erdmann 2012).
The species is “named after Mr. R. W. Leftwich Jr. of Maryborough, to whom the author is indebted for many acts of kindness.”
Synonyms:
Acentrogobius leftwichi (Ogilby, 1910) · unaccepted
Rhinogobius leftwichi Ogilby, 1910 · unaccepted
