Description
The Bloodspot Pygmygoby is a tiny, vibrant red goby known for its distinctive red spot behind the eye. It is a peaceful and shy inhabitant of coral reefs, often found perched on corals or rocks. This micro-predator requires a mature reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging.
