Description
A tiny Caribbean reef goby with a white face, a red-orange stripe through the eye, and a lime-green body crossed by numerous fine vertical bands. It is a shy, peaceful bottom-dweller that perches in crevices and among rubble, and juveniles will occasionally pick parasites from tankmates. Best kept in nano to medium reef tanks with mature live rock, a sand bed, and small, non-predatory tankmates, as it is easily bullied or eaten by larger fish.
