Steven Clark –
This goby has been in my 30-gallon reef tank for three months. It’s active but not aggressive, and it blends well with the other inhabitants. The coloration is vibrant and it seems to be thriving in the current setup.
Caroline Duncan –
I added this goby to my intermediate reef tank after reading about its peaceful nature. It’s been calm and doesn’t interfere with corals or other fish. A good choice for a beginner to intermediate reef keeper.
Jennifer Butler –
The size is slightly smaller than expected, but it’s still a beautiful addition. It’s active during the day and stays near the rockwork. I’m happy with the compatibility and behavior.
