It was observed to be particularly abundant on Ishigaki and Iriomote islands (southern Ryukyu Archipelago), but relatively rare northward from Okinawa Island. Juveniles were usually in brackish pools with leaf litter on the muddy bottom. On Iriomote and Ishigaki islands, this species was usually observed with other gobioid species, including Acentrogobius janthinopterus, Bostrychus sinensis, Eleotris melanosoma and a Mugilogobius sp. (Ref. 133165).
