Eviota fluctiphila, commonly known as the surge dwarfgoby, is a species of small fish belonging to the family Gobiidae.
The species is characterized by its dark brown coloration with lighter spots, which provides effective camouflage in its natural habitat.
This species is found in the shallow, high-energy reef habitats of West Papua, Indonesia, specifically around Batu Hitam in the Kawe Island group of the Raja Ampat Archipelago.
[3] Eviota fluctiphila is a nocturnal predator, feeding primarily on small insects, crustaceans, and other aquatic invertebrates.
Eviota fluctiphila is not commonly targeted by local fishermen and is primarily of interest to researchers and aquarists.
