Description
Dianne's Goby is a tiny, translucent goby found in the Indo-Pacific, known for its commensal relationship with certain sponges or gorgonians. Its small size and specialized diet of zooplankton make it a delicate inhabitant for mature reef aquariums. This shy species requires a stable environment and careful feeding to thrive.
