Description
Trimma rouxae is a tiny, colorful marine goby known for its vibrant markings and small size. It is a peaceful micro-predator that thrives in established reef aquariums with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. This species is an excellent choice for nano reef tanks due to its diminutive stature.
