Genus of fishes
Eviota genus of fish in the family Gobiidae , commonly as dwarfgobies found in the Indo -Pacific region, where it is distributed from Japan to Australia and from Africa to Pitcairn Island .[ 1] [ 2] Species are mainly associated with coral reefs .[ 2] life cycles as brief as 3.5 weeks in the tropics. Some species are hermaphrodites and some representatives live symbiotically among the tentacles of the mushroom coral .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
