Appearance

This is a fairly elongated goby up to 8 centimetres standard length. The background colour is whitish marked with five vertical brown or orange bars. It is most readily distinguished from its congeners by a row of red spots along the margin of both dorsal fins and the upper part of the caudal fin and also by a prominent black spot just above and behind the eye.

Behavior

As with other "Amblyeleotris" species, it has a symbiotic relationship with alpheid shrimps, one or a pair of gobies sharing a burrow with a pair of shrimps.
