Description
The Yellow and Whitestriped Pygmygoby is a tiny, peaceful marine goby known for its translucent body adorned with a prominent yellow stripe along its back and a white stripe beneath it. These shy, reef-safe fish are micro-predators, primarily feeding on zooplankton in the water column, making them excellent inhabitants for nano reef aquariums.
