Orange Banded Prawn Goby
Orange Banded Prawn Gobies, Amblyeleotris steinitzi, proliferate abundantly in reefs of the Indo Pacific region reaching as far south as the Great Barrier Reef. This Goby is one of several Shrimp Gobies found in the oceans. This hardy fish displays deep orange banding on its pearly white body. If present, this fish will gladly share its sand bed burrow with a Pistol Shrimp Alpheus. It will also build burrows in the absence of a Pistol Shrimp; helping to keep the sand bed well stirred. Also known by the name Steinitz' Prawn Goby, this Goby readily adapts to a diet of frozen or live shrimp such as Mysis Shrimp or Brine Shrimp and should be fed multiple times daily.
Approximate Arrival Size for Prawn Gobies: 1 to 2.5 in.
