Pink spot shrimp goby (Cryptocentrus leptocephalus).

One of the larger shrimp goby species. These are closely related to Yellow watchman gobies (Cryptocentrus cinctus), but, they don’t get as big, or, as aggressive as Yellow watchman gobies making Pink spot shrimp gobies the better choice of the two species. They can be paired up with most species of Pistol shrimp (Alpheus sp.). The shrimp goby and Pistol shrimp will then construct a little burrow and live in it together. Being one of the larger shrimp Goby species, they will need one of the larger pistol shrimps to pair with so that the shrimp’s tunnel is wide enough for them to fit into. We recommend the Bullseye snapping shrimp (Alpheus soror).

SIZE

Typically 3” to 4”, may reach up to 5” or more.

COMPATIBILITY

Reef safe with all corals. Will pair up with the larger species of Pistol Shrimp (Alpheus sp.). As with most small fish, large predatory fish may try to eat them. As with most small reef fish they may jump if startled so a tight fitting lid with no gaps is recommended.
