Callogobius dori was discovered in the Red Sea from the base of coral patch reefs on silty sand in a closed lagoon.
The goby has a moderately stocky body with an elongated, broadly rounded caudal fin that occupies a size greater than 40% of the animal's lateral length.
The head, body and fins of the goby are light brown to brown. About seven or eight narrow, dark longitudinal stripes are visible on the body.
A dark, eye-sized spot is often present on the upper portion of the caudal fin.
Head, body and fins light brown to brown. About seven or eight narrow, dark longitudinal stripes visible on body.
Body. First dorsal and pectoral fins dark. Our specimens are very pale, so we cannot tell if vertical stripes are
or head markings are present. Dark, eye-sized spot on upper part of caudal fin often present, depending on the
Condition of the specimen. Coloration similar in preservation.
Confusion in the Red Sea is most likely with Callogobius amikami and Callogobius pilosimentum.
The authors have found three specimens of Callogobius dori around the Amirante Islands, St. Joseph Atoll, south of Resource Islands ,Seychelles ( 0 - 4 meters depth, March 7, 1964), which greatly extends the known range of this species and suggests that it may occur elsewhere in the western Indian Ocean.

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!
