Lives on the bottom of the river. Also observed from sea level to 40 meters high in altitude. Possibly spawns in freshwater, with free embryos drifting downstream to the sea where they undergo a planktonic stage, before returning to the rivers to grow and reproduce, hence are amphidromous (Ref. 83881).

The species has 14 pectoral rays, 9 segmented-rays in the second dorsal fin and 40-49 premaxillary teeth. There are 12-17 scales in predorsal midline and 33-39 in longitudinal series. The males have more and larger symphyseal teeth than females (3 vs. 2-3). The species has also (13-16) scales in transverse forward series and longer fins in males. The species is squatter than other Stiphodon species and the coloration of males is characteristic: they have yellow green (Ref. 83881). Keith, P., E. Feunteun and E.

Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and growing at sea usually a few months long, return to fresh water of well-grown juveniles, a further period of feeding and growing in fresh water, followed by reproduction there (Ref. 82692).

It lives on the bottom of the river. This species was observed from sea level to 40 meters high in altitude. This species is thought to spawn in freshwater, like Sicyopterus (Keith et al., 2004), Sicydium (Bell et al., 1995) Cotylopus (Keith et al., 2005), Lentipes (Watson et al., 2002), Awaous (Keith et al., 2000), Akihito (Watson et al., 2007; Keith et al., 2007a) or the other Stiphodon (Watson et al. 2005), with free embryos drifting downstream to the sea where they undergo a planktonic phase, before returning to the rivers to grow and reproduce (Keith, 2003; Keith et al., 2008). Hence they are qualified as amphidromous (sensu McDowall, 1997). These gobies contribute most to the diversity of fish communities in the Indo-Pacific insular systems, have the highest levels of endemism (Keith et al., 2006; Lord and Keith, 2007) and must be protected (Keith and Marion, 2002).
