Description
The Whitestriped Pygmygoby is a tiny, colorful marine fish characterized by its distinctive red stripes and spots over a pale body. This peaceful, reef-safe species is an excellent addition to well-established nano or reef aquariums. They are often found perched on live rock or coral, actively hunting for small invertebrates.
