A great Yellow Clown Goby!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:
Size M: approx. 1 - 2"

There once was a Yellow Clown Goby,
Whose colors were quite a hobby,
With a face that could cheer,
And fins quite sincere,
It's a fish that's never just snobby.

This little guy packs a punch,
With a jaw that's built for a crunch,
Feasting on algae so fine,
It's one cool fish to dine,
And a perfect addition to any reef bunch.

But don't let its size fool you,
This Goby knows how to pursue,
Its predators stay away,
As it hides every day,
In its burrow that's cozy and true.

Keeping Yellow Clown Goby (Gobiodon okinawae) in an Aquarium

The Yellow Clown Goby, also known as Gobiodon okinawae, is a popular and colorful fish for aquarium enthusiasts. Here are some tips for keeping them in your tank:

Tank Setup

Yellow Clown Gobies are small, reaching only about 1.5 inches in length. They prefer a tank with plenty of hiding places, such as live rock or artificial structures.

Yellow Clown Gobies are carnivorous and require a diet of meaty foods, such as frozen or live brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped squid or shrimp. They will also graze on algae in the tank.

Behavior

Yellow Clown Gobies are peaceful fish that can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. They are also known for their symbiotic relationship with certain species of coral, such as Acropora and Montipora, where they will live in the coral's branches and defend it from predators.
