Yellow Watchman Goby

Cryptocentrus cinctus

Reef Safe

The Yellow Watchman Goby, scientifically known as Cryptocentrus cinctus, is a charming and beneficial addition to any reef aquarium. With its vibrant yellow body and endearing personality, this goby adds both color and character to the tank. The Yellow Watchman Goby is known for its symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp, sharing a burrow where both species benefit from protection and food sources. This goby is a peaceful and timid fish, spending much of its time near the substrate, where it forages for small invertebrates and crustaceans. As a reef-safe species, it does not bother corals or other reef inhabitants, making it an excellent choice for community reef setups. However, it's essential to provide plenty of hiding spots and refuge for this goby to retreat to if it feels threatened. With its playful antics and beneficial behaviors, the Yellow Watchman Goby is sure to captivate the hearts of marine enthusiasts and enhance the beauty of their underwater world.
