Brachygobius - bee gobies (Brachygobius nunus, Brachygobius anthozona, brachygobius doriae) are closely related gobies that got their name due to the round shape of the body, large head and body color. The biotope of bee gobies is the backwaters of mangrove forests: silt, sand, fallen leaves, branches.

They can be described as follows - the body is compressed at the back, cylindrical at the front. The upper jaw is shorter than the lower jaw. The body is yellowish-brown with stripes running from the eyes to the tail. The dorsal and adipose fins are black, the other fins are mostly translucent. The ventral fins of the goby are fused, thus forming a kind of sucker, with the help of which the gobies can attach to any surface and at any angle. The anal fin of the bee goby has 7 rays.
