Gobiodon okinawae – Yellow Coral Goby

The Yellow Coral Goby (Gobiodon okinawae) is a striking yellow, small reef dweller found in the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific, particularly around Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This species lives in close symbiosis with hard corals, especially those of the genus Acropora. It helps protect the corals by deterring predators and uses their branches as shelter and living space.

The Yellow Coral Goby is a popular choice for nano and reef aquariums. It doesn't require much swimming space but thrives in an environment with coral structures, stable water conditions, and peaceful tankmates. Due to its small size and calm nature, it is ideal for smaller aquariums.

Important for the care of corals and fish

is the constant maintenance of salinity, as well as the use of a good sea salt, such as the Fauna Marin Professional Sea Salt.

The salinity should always be between 34/35 per mille, respectively 1.022 and 1.024 density. Regular checking of the density is an absolute must in marine aquaristics.
