Eviota sigillata, commonly called seven-figure pygmy goby or adorned dwarfgoby, is a species of marine fish in the family Gobiidae. They are widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific area, from the Seychelles to the Micronesia. [2]
It inhabits reef habitats at depths from 3 to 20 m (9.8–65.6 ft). [3] This species has the shortest lifespan for a vertebrate, living for at most 59 days. [4] About three weeks are as pelagic larvae, two weeks settling on the reef and three weeks as adults. [4]
This pygmy goby can reach a length of 3 centimetres (1.2 in). [5]
