The Citrinis Clown Goby, also known as the Citron or Citrin Goby, is common within the reefs of Sri Lanka and the Coral Sea among soft and hard coral colonies; it is a small yellow fish with blue vertical lines around the eyes and gills and a blue horizontal line along the dorsal fin, with body color varying between dark brown and pale yellow. It is peaceful and enjoys swimming and hiding amongst polyp colonies, but feeds on Acropora polyps in the wild and may severely damage Acropora in SPS-dominated aquariums; it needs a 10-gallon or larger aquarium with branched corals, will fight its own kind in smaller tanks, and feeds on brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen carnivore preparations.
