Behavior

A small prawn goby that forms symbiotic partnerships with snapping shrimp. Lives near the burrow entrance, watching for threats while the shrimp maintains the shelter. Peaceful and undemanding. A great choice for nano reef tanks.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore. Feeds on small zooplankton and crustaceans. Offer frozen baby brine shrimp, copepods, and fine-particle mysis. Place food near the substrate level.

Cautions

Very small — easy target for larger fish. Keep only with peaceful nano-sized tank mates.
