Why We Like It:

A hardy Caribbean watchman goby with bold markings and classic perch-and-watch behaviour. It spends much of its time sitting at the entrance of its burrow, darting out to grab passing food before retreating to safety. Peaceful and reef safe, it does well in tanks with sand and rockwork where it can establish a secure territory. A characterful goby that adds natural behaviour to reef systems.
