The White Goby, also known as the White Coral Goby or Snow Goby, is a small, peaceful species that adds a subtle elegance to reef aquariums with its pale, almost translucent body and delicate features. These gobies are well-suited for nano and community reef tanks due to their small size, typically growing to about 2 inches. They thrive in environments with plenty of live rock and coral branches, where they can perch and hide.
The White Goby is a peaceful species that coexists well with other tank mates, making it an ideal candidate for community reef tanks. They prefer a well-established aquarium with calm water flow and plenty of hiding spaces. This species is also known for forming symbiotic relationships with certain species of shrimp, making them a fascinating addition to a reef tank.
In the wild, White Gobies are found among coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific, where they feed on small invertebrates and plankton. In captivity, they do well on a diet of finely chopped frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and high-quality marine pellets or flakes.
