Black-Ray Goby

Care Summary

The Black-Ray Goby is built like a tiny exclamation point, with that dramatically elongated first dorsal spine giving it a silhouette unlike any other prawn goby. The orange-and-white banding combined with the raised fin makes this one of the most photogenic gobies available and it consistently draws attention in a reef. Keep it singly or as a mated pair; a second unpaired male will trigger constant conflict that stresses both fish. Match it with a pistol shrimp and place the system somewhere you can watch it comfortably, because the behavioral display is genuinely worth observing.
