Description
The Leopard Goby (*Trimma cana*) is a tiny, vibrant marine fish characterized by its translucent body, reddish-brown spots, and a prominent white stripe along its lateral line. These peaceful gobies are often observed perching on corals in reef environments, where they feed on zooplankton. They are an excellent choice for nano and small reef aquariums.
