The Red Worm Goby is a long, slender, pencil-thin fish with a pale body and a bright orange-red stripe running nose to tail. It hovers just above the sand and dives into the rubble when startled.
Why We're Obsessed
It's one of those odd, graceful fish you don't see often, and that stripe looks great cruising over a sand bed.
Care: Reef safe and peaceful; keep with calm tankmates. Needs a sand bed with rubble to hide in and a tight-fitting lid (they jump). Feed mysis, brine and small frozen foods. Max size about 4.5". Minimum tank size: 30 gallons.
