Added the Yasha White Ray Shrimp Goby to my 20-gallon tank with pistol shrimp. The fish looks stunning with its red and white stripes and bright yellow fins. It seems calm and stays near the rocks where the shrimp digs. Great addition to a community tank with hiding spots.

The goby is visually striking and peaceful. I noticed it watching the pistol shrimp closely. It doesn’t stress other fish and fits well in a small reef setup. Needs a lid, but that’s easy to manage.

This goby is a rare find and very eye-catching. It’s been two months now and still active without showing signs of stress. Works well with my pistol shrimp and adds a nice color contrast to the tank.
