The Orange Spotted Goby, also known as the Spotted Prawn Goby or Orange Spotted Shrimp Goby, was first discovered in the Western Pacific in 1938; its body is white with orange spots outlined in brown, and it forms symbiotic partnerships with nearly blind alpheid shrimp — keeping watch while the shrimp digs their shared burrow. It is best in aquariums of 10 gallons or larger with adequate hiding places, ample swimming space, a tight-fitting lid, and a bed of fine sand and loose coral rubble to sift through; it adapts well to reef aquariums but may threaten small delicate ornamental shrimp — feed fresh or frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and table shrimp at least twice per day.
