Why We Like It:

With a vibrant yellow snout and electric blue body stripe, the Sharknose Goby is both a visual standout and a practical addition to the reef. Known for its natural cleaning behaviour, it readily picks parasites off tankmates. Great in peaceful tanks and can be kept singly or in groups. A reef favourite that punches well above its size.
