Description
The Rosy Eviota is a tiny, colorful goby characterized by its rosy body and distinctive white spots, often found inhabiting coral reefs. This shy, micro-predator thrives in mature nano reef environments where it can forage for small invertebrates. Due to its diminutive size, it requires a peaceful tank with no large or aggressive tankmates.
