Behavior

One of the smallest gobies available in the hobby. A cleaning goby that will pick parasites from larger fish in the wild. Peaceful and undemanding. Best kept in pairs or small groups where the tank size allows.

Diet & Feeding

Omnivore. Feeds on parasites, small crustaceans, and plankton. Accept frozen baby brine shrimp, fine-grade reef foods, and copepods.

Cautions

Extremely small — only suitable with very gentle, small tank mates. May be eaten by larger predators.
