The coach goby is a small marine fish up to 12 centimeters long. It lives on the bottom near rocky and sandy shores of Western Europe and feeds on small animals.
The coach goby differs from other gobies by its special pattern of dark spots and stripes on the body. It is important for nature because it eats small invertebrates and serves as food for larger fish.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
