Description

The Redspotted Pygmygoby is a tiny, vibrant marine fish, typically displaying a white body adorned with striking red spots and markings. This peaceful bottom-dweller is an excellent choice for nano reef aquariums, where it sifts through sand or perches on live rock. It requires a stable environment and a diet of small, meaty foods.
