Biology[]
A side view of a Blue-Banded Goby
Blue-Banded Goby are a species of Goby native to the Eastern Pacific, ranging from Monterey Bay to Northern Peru and the Gulf of California. They can be found hiding in the crevices of rocky reefs located in coastal waters, between the spines of sea urchins or inside the holes sea urchins create. This species, much like clownfish, has shown the ability to rapidly switch sexes. They live with a rather dense population in the areas they reside in, but are quite uncommon in any other area outside the Pacific. Despite this, commercial fishers haven't caught, purposefully or accidentally, any of these gobies and scientists believe they'll likely never be a species of concern in terms of population.
Trivia[]
- Its name is actually missing a hyphen in the game (It should read Blue-Banded Goby).
- Unlike most fish who can only change once, these are one of the few recorded fish that can switch between sexes as much as they want and for any given reason, only taking days to accomplish.
