🐠 Yellow Priolepis Goby (Priolepis aureoviridis)
A Light Yellow-to-Green Body With Thin Vertical Stripes • A Secretive, Cryptic Rockwork Dweller • Rarely Seen in the Aquarium Trade
 
📋 The Yellow Priolepis Goby, also known as the Yellow-Green Goby or Golden Green Goby, has a light yellow-to-green body marked with thin vertical yellow-to-orange stripes alternating with white bands.
It comes from the Central Pacific, including Micronesia, Johnston Atoll, and the Hawaiian Islands, inhabiting the seaward side of reefs at depths of 6 to 20 metres, and is a real secretive, cryptic fish. Every Yellow Priolepis Goby we ship is feeding well.
This species spends most of its time resting and swimming within rockwork, only becoming active and visible once food enters the tank. It's non-aggressive toward other fish and won't bother invertebrates, though it should be housed singly, as it may become territorial toward other gobies. This species is rarely seen in the aquarium trade. It's fully reef safe, and easy to feed once settled, readily accepting most standard marine foods. It reaches up to 6.4cm, so a 40L tank suits it well.
