Yellow Watchman Goby

Yellow Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus Cinctus)

The Yellow Prawn Goby, also known as the Yellow Watchman Prawn or Yellow Shrimp Goby, was first described by Herre in 1936. It features a striking appearance with a yellow-orange body adorned with bright blue spots on its head and fins.With its comical, perpetual frown, the Yellow Prawn Goby is known for peeking out from behind rocks. This species often forms symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp. To thrive, it needs a 30-gallon or larger tank with plenty of loose coral rubble, ample swimming space, and a sand substrate for burrowing. While generally peaceful with other fish, it is territorial and will become aggressive toward its own kind unless they are a mated pair.Due to its tendency to jump, a secure lid is essential to prevent escapes. The diet of the Yellow Prawn Goby should include a variety of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations, with feeding recommended at least twice a day.
