More Details
General info about Diamond Watchman Goby
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.
Caution with Diamond Watchman Goby
Gobies are considered jumpers make sure your aquarium has a tight-fitting canopy or screen cover to prevent the Gobie from jumping out of your aquarium. Gobies have been known to jump through the smallest of holes in a canopy.
