Eutaeniichthys gilli is a species of goby native to brackish waters of the northwestern Pacific Ocean from around Japan , the Korean Peninsula and the Yellow Sea. It is an inhabitant of estuarine tide pools where it can be found under rocks. This species grows to a length of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) SL. This species is the only known member of its genus.[1] The generic name is a compound of eu meaning "good", taenia meaning "ribbon" or "tape", Eutaenia being a synonym of the garter snake genus Thamnophis, and ichthys, "fish". The specific name honours the United States ichthyologist Theodore Gill (1837-1914) for his work on the gobies of Japan.[2]
