Yashia Shrimp Goby
Yashia Shrimp Goby, Stonogobiops yashia, is a peaceful, hardy, and exceptional aquarium addition. Found living in several reefs of the Indo Pacific region, this bright Goby is one of several Shrimp Gobies found in the oceans. If present, this fish will gladly share its sand bed burrow with a Pistol Shrimp of the Alpheus genus. It will also build burrows in the absence of a Pistol Shrimp; helping to keep the sand bed well stirred. Because of its penchant for burrowing, the substrate provided should be fine sand. Its white body with lateral orange/red striping is striking enough, but the elongated white first dorsal spine and yellow coloration of the finnage make the Yasa Hashe Goby a prized catch. Like other members of the Goby family, this fish is a skilled leaper and requires a tightly covered aquarium. Great singly or in groups, this reef-safe fish readily adapts to a diet of frozen or live shrimp such as Mysis Shrimp or Brine Shrimp.
Approximate Arrival Size for Yashia Shrimp Goby: 1" to 2.5"
