Description
The White Cap Goby (Lotilia graciliosa) is a small, rare species that stands out with its sleek black body and a distinctive white cap on its head. Its peaceful temperament makes it an excellent choice for nano reef aquariums. It prefers sandy bottoms with plenty of rockwork and crevices to hide in.
This Goby is a carnivore, feeding on small live or frozen meaty foods like brine shrimp or mysis shrimp. Although it is peaceful, care must be taken to avoid housing it with aggressive tankmates.
The White Cap Goby is reef-safe and poses no harm to corals or invertebrates. However, it may require more specific care due to its rarity, making it more suited for experienced aquarists.
