Range and Identity
Kraemeria cunicularia is the scientific identity retained for this entry, also called Transparent Sand Dart in the checked account. Regional records include the Ryukyu Islands, Palau and parts of Micronesia. Those locality records should not be expanded into every tropical Pacific shoreline.
Habitat and Behavior
The fish burrows in sandy bottom along shores and within estuaries. Burrowing can make an animal less conspicuous than a fish swimming above the bottom, so a casual surface observation is not equivalent to a targeted bottom survey. The source does not define one required salinity.
Food and Life History
The reported maximum is 4.5 centimeters total length. A detailed species-specific feeding list, independent maximum mass and breeding sequence are not established in the retrieved material. Its tiny size is not enough to infer those missing biological details.
Field Note
Keep the exact shore locality and substrate with a record. Small sand-associated fishes may be overlooked or confused, making both habitat documentation and diagnostic photographs valuable.
