Sam Reid –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 30-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother the corals and stays active without causing stress to other fish. A great addition to a reef setup.
Anna Wallace –
I’ve had this goby for three months now. It’s active and stays in one area, which makes it easy to monitor. The tank size was 24 gallons, and it’s thriving.
Kevin Newman –
Perfect for intermediate aquarists. It’s calm, doesn’t eat coral polyps, and blends well with the reef environment. Very satisfied with the purchase.
