Easy to set up and very active in the tank. It doesn’t bother other fish and stays near the coral. Perfect for a small reef tank. Very happy with this purchase.

Goby has been in my 10-gallon tank for three months. It’s peaceful and doesn’t eat anything. I appreciate its small size and calm nature.

Great addition to my reef setup. It’s active but not aggressive. Fits well with my clownfish and small corals. Very satisfied with the quality.
