Diamond Watchman Goby

General information

The head and body are white with orange spots. It is a very timid fish that makes a great addition to the reef tank because of its longevity. It should be housed in an aquarium with live sand as the substrate, and an attached populated refugium. The Diamond Watchman Goby uses shallow burrows in the substrate as a refuge, keeping the substrate well oxygenated. It rarely becomes aggressive towards other fish, but is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair.
