First described in: Jewett, S. L.; Lachner, E. A. (1983). Seven new species of the Indo-Pacific genus Eviota (Pisces: Gobiidae). <em>Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash.</em> 96(4): 780-806.
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.
It inhabits reef habitats at depths from 3 to 20 m (9.8–65.6 ft). This species has the shortest lifespan for a vertebrate, living for at most 59 days. About three weeks are as pelagic larvae, two weeks settling on the reef and three weeks as adults.
