Shotsilk Goby
Scientific Name: Valenciennea helsdingenii
Small Fish Safe: Yes
Invert Safe: With caution – may consume very small crustaceans
Coral Safe: Yes
Adult Size: Up to 18 cm
Diet: Carnivore – sand-sifts for microfauna and accepts frozen mysis and meaty foods
Why We Like It:
The Shotsilk Goby is a striking sand-sifter with a shimmering body marked by bold orange-red spots. Larger and more substantial than many Valenciennea species, it constantly processes sand, helping maintain a clean substrate. Best suited to larger reef tanks with a deep sand bed and stable rockwork, as it can undermine unsecured structures. A high-impact goby with both function and visual appeal.
