FUSE GOBIES

These interesting, reef-safe gobies feed off the substrate and will help keep the upper layer of the sand from becoming overgrown or caked. They eat small worms and minute crustaceans, but are less likely to decimate infaunal invertebrates than the more aggressive sand-sifters.

These sand-dwelling species are quite aggressive toward conspecifics and congeners—it is best not to house more than one per tank. Provide it with suitable hiding places as it will not do well if pestered by tankmates.
