Notes: The Orangemarked Goby can actually be quite a hard worker and will keep the sand well sifted and clean. It takes large mouthfuls of sand and sifts through it eating small invertebrates and expelling the cleaned sand out of its gills. This goby likes to work together in pairs. One alone usually gets lonely and groups will often fight, unless introduced to a large aquarium. They are rarely aggressive towards other fish, except other sleeper gobies, such as the Orangespot Diamond Goby. They will do best in a reef aquarium with passive fishes.
Offer a varied diet of carnivore preparations including mysis shrimp and brine shrimp.
