A rare cryptobenthic gobiid species of the Mediterranean, that spends the day hidden to become active during the night. It swimming movements are slow, and when disturbed, swims approximately 20 cm above the bottom. It lives on a bottom substrate of pebbles or on sand among Posidonia oceanica or Caulerpa racemosa (Ref. 92840, 130809).
