Gobius bucchichi, Bucchich's goby, is a species of goby native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea[1][2] where it prefers coastal waters with a sandy or muddy substrate with seagrass patches or tide pools at depths of from 1 to 30 metres (3.3 to 98.4 ft). It lives in association with the anemone Anemonia sulcata, hiding amongst its tentacles when threatened. Its diet consists of polychaete worms, amphipods, molluscs and algae. This species can reach a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2]
