Description
The Bigspot Minidartfish is a tiny, colorful marine goby characterized by its distinctive yellow caudal fin and a horizontal stripe along its body. This shy and peaceful species typically perches on corals or rocks, darting out to catch passing zooplankton. It makes an excellent addition to nano or pico reef aquariums.
