Description
Rainfordi Goby eats green hair algae and is also a sand sifter. They do great indivually, but given adequate space and a simultaneous introduction, a grouping makes a beautiful display with their grey-blue bodies and orange striping running horizontally along the entire length of the body.

The Rainfordi Goby typically will not bother any fish, corals, or invertebrates. Care should be taken, however, to ensure that other larger species (or others of a similar species who have established territories) do not pick on the Rainfordi. In the reef tank, it will appreciate the hiding places afforded by Live Rock and corals.

It is possible for the Rainford’s Goby to spawn successfully in an aquarium.

Diet
The diet should consist of small crustaceans, such as live and frozen brine shrimp, mysid shrimp, as well as filamentous algae.

Other Common Names
Old Glory, Court Jester Goby
