About Panda Goby

General information

The Panda Goby is usually found among the branches of Pocillopora coral colonies. They are a small stocky shaped fish with a very large head for their size and are black, white and yellow in color. They are a peaceful fish that makes a wonderful addition to a reef aquarium containing colonies of polyp corals, as they enjoy swimming and hiding amongst the polyps. However, they may nip at the polyps of SPS corals. They require at least one Pocillopora coral and some shaded areas for the fish to hide. It will rarely become aggressive towards other fish. Therefore, it is best if it is kept with other docile species.
