The Pink Speckled Shrimp Goby, also known as the Singapore Prawn Goby, is a master of the "symbiotic bond." Featuring a soft, silvery-tan body covered in intricate pink and red speckles and shimmering blue highlights, this fish is as beautiful as it is fascinating. In the "Answering Machine" era of saltwater husbandry, this species is a top-tier choice for hobbyists looking to showcase the natural partnership between goby and pistol shrimp.
These gobies act as the "lookout" for their nearly blind shrimp partners. While the shrimp maintains a complex tunnel system, the goby perches at the entrance, signaling the shrimp with a flick of its tail at the first sign of danger. It’s a high-interaction, architectural addition to the lower levels of any reef.

Quick Specs
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons
Diet: Carnivore
Reef Compatible: Yes
Max Size: 5 Inches
Water Conditions: 72-78°F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025
Husbandry Notes The Pink Speckled Shrimp Goby requires a sandy substrate and plenty of rockwork to establish its burrow. For the most natural behavior, house it with a symbiotic Alpheus genus pistol shrimp (such as the Tiger or Candy Cane Pistol Shrimp). They are hardy eaters and should be fed a varied diet of meaty marine foods like mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and sinking pellets. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial toward other gobies with similar body shapes. A secure lid is recommended as they can be jumpy.
