Care guide at a glance
Valenciennea sexguttata
Description
A pale chalk-white goby marked with six bright blue spots along the cheek. A tireless sand sifter and a peaceful, useful addition to a mature system.
Feeding
Sifts sand and requires direct feeding as well - frozen mysis, enriched brine shrimp and sinking pellets several times daily.
Compatibility
Peaceful and reef safe. Keep singly or as a pair. Sand-sifting will dust nearby corals.
Behaviour and personality
Works steadily across the sand bed, sifting mouthfuls and building a burrow beneath rockwork.
Before you buy
Like all Valenciennea gobies it will starve on sand fauna alone and needs deliberate feeding. Requires a deep fine sand bed and a sealed lid.
