Some of these gobies are abundant fish species. The most widespread is the speckled goby (R. bikolanus), which occurs throughout the western Pacific Ocean and from Australia to Africa. Some Redigobius are kept as aquarium pets. The Fijian endemic Lever's goby (R. leveri) is featured on the ten-dollar bill in the 2013 series of Fijian currency.
