Easy to set up and very active in the tank. It doesn’t damage corals and stays in one area. Great for a beginner reef setup. Very happy with this purchase.
Anthony MacDonald –
The goby is colorful and curious. It’s not aggressive but does defend its territory. Needs a tank of at least 30 gallons. Works well with other peaceful fish.
