The Greenbanded Goby has a greenish-gray body with up to 26 thin, pale green bands. Its head is white, with two red stripes that extend from the snout, pass through the eyes, and continue toward the fins above.
The Greenbanded Goby lives in shallow waters, often hiding under Sea Urchins. It is shy and retreats under the spines of a Sea Urchin when approached by divers.
The Cayman Greenbanded Goby, Tigrigobius harveyi, shown on page 285 of Reef Fish Identification, 4th edition, is known only from the Cayman Islands. The Greenbanded Goby found on Bonaire is Tigrigobius multifasciatus.
