Banded Sleeper Goby
Gobies are an excellent addition to reef aquariums as they are very timid, disease resistant and hardy. When planning a display with this goby, be sure to use a few inches of mixed grain sand, as this will give them enough depth to burrow, and a more secure final structure. The Sleeper Banded Sand-Sifting Goby scavenges and sift through the sand for food, which helps keep your sand looking clean. Because they are generally busy working on the sand bed, target feeding is recommended to keep them from missing meals. They can become territorial against other Sleeper Banded, gobies and bottom dwellers so they should be the only goby unless they are a mated pair. This goby has an adult size of 6" and are a great addition to smaller aquariums. They have a brownish green body with bands and spots.
