The Orange Stripe Prawn Goby, also known as Randall's Shrimp Goby, was first discovered in the Western Pacific in 1978 by Hoese and Steene; its body is white with orange stripes — one over the eyes and around its entire head — and males show a fan-like dorsal fin with a dramatic eyespot. It needs an aquarium of 10 gallons or larger; it is peaceful but may quarrel with conspecifics if kept together or in too small a tank, may not eat for several days when first added, and may form a symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp; feed mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and chopped table shrimp at least twice per day.
