Easy to set up and very active in a 24-gallon tank. It doesn’t damage corals and stays calm with other peaceful fish. Great for beginner reef keepers.
Theresa Blake –
Fits well in my reef tank. It’s not overly aggressive, and I noticed it patrols the rockwork regularly. Needs a bit of space, but overall a good addition.
Wendy Glover –
Bought this for my first reef tank. The goby is active and curious. It’s not aggressive and coexists well with clownfish and small shrimp.
