Harbor Watchman Goby Cryptocentrus cyanotaenia
This is an attractive, blue barred goby known by a number of common names including the Lagoon Shrimp Goby and, appropriately, Bluebanded Shrimp Goby. If present, this fish will gladly share its sand bed burrow with a Pistol Shrimp (Alpheus sp.) It will also build burrows in the absence of a Pistol Shrimp; helping to keep the sand bed well stirred. Because of its penchant for burrowing, the substrate provided should be fine sand. Like other members of the Goby family, this fish is a skilled leaper and requires a tightly covered aquarium. The Harbor Goby can be somewhat territorial against others of its species and family. If more than one are to be placed in the same aquarium, it is best to introduce them simultaneously and to allow plenty of space and Live Rock. It does have the potential to eat smaller ornamental shrimp, but is otherwise harmless to other fish, invertebrates, and corals. Be sure to house it with compatible aquarium mates that will not be overly aggressive or confrontational to the Harbor Goby. Great singly or in groups.
Feed a variety of foods including mysis shrimp and vitamin enriched brine shrimp.
