Eviota readerae Gill & Jewett 2004 |
Eviota readerae is a species of goby associated with reefs and tide pools. It has a very limited distribution in the southwest Pacific, being found only on the Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs.
Like most members of its genus, this is a tiny fish, the standard length never exceeding 18 mm. This is a pale species with a series of dark marks along the back. In juveniles these marks extend down below the midline, gradually being reduced to much smaller dark saddles in mature specimens. There is also a single black spot at the base of the pectoral fin.
