Reef Safe?

Yes, Dragon Gobies are generally considered to be safe for reef aquariums.

Environment

Dragon Gobies prefer a tank with plenty of hiding places, such as caves or rock formations. They also require a soft substrate in which they can burrow. The tank should have a strong filtration system to keep the water clean, as these fish produce a lot of waste.

Dragon Gobies are generally peaceful fish, but can be territorial with others of their own species. They are typically bottom dwellers and spend a lot of their time hiding in caves or burrowing in the substrate.
