    Green Coral Goby

    Gobiodon rivulatus

    Background
    Gobiodons make lovely additions to the marine tank,
    especially if you have lots of Coral. The Green Coral
    Goby is a pretty example of Gobiodon, which are
    primarily scale-less. Instead of scales, their skin has
    a thick mucus coating which protects them from the
    Acropora Corals in which they live.

    General Information
    Rarely aggressive towards other species, they will
    fight with members of their own kind if housed in a too
    -small tank, so ensure that they have enough room.

    Green Coral Goby will make a pretty addition to your


    tank, and are filled with character!

    Water Quality
    Temperature: 24C - 26C.
    pH: 8.08.4
    SG 1.020 - 1.026

    Feeding
    Gobiodon can take some time to become accustomed
    to the home aquarium, as they can become stressed
    during transport. Upon arrival at home, ensure that
    they have plenty of live foods and extra attention until
    they settle in. Frozen or thawed foods can be offered,
    and Live Brine Shrimp will be well accepted.

    Compatibility
    Their toxic, mucus coated skin will offer some
    protection from tank mates, but they will still require
    careful matching. Species with which they can
    comfortably co-exist include Anthias, Blennies,
    Cardinals and other Gobies. Seahorses make
    particularly good tank mates. Gobiodon may also
    exist with Dwarf Angels and Butterflies.

    Other species such as Damsels and Dottybacks are


    likely to harass and / or attack Gobiodon.
