Care notes:
The White Watchman Goby is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling species known for its sand-sifting behavior and subtle coloration, featuring a pale body with faint markings. It forms beneficial symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp, sharing burrows and acting as a lookout. This goby thrives in tanks with sandy substrates and plenty of hiding spots. It adapts well to captivity, accepting a diet of frozen foods, sinking pellets, and other meaty preparations. A calm and hardy addition to reef aquariums, it’s ideal for peaceful community setups.
