goby, Gobiodon okinawae, also known as the Okinawa goby or yellow coral
goby, is a member of the goby family native to the western Pacific from
southern Japan to the southern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef. As the
name implies, they are bright yellow in color, save for a whitish patch
on each cheek. Equally bright as their coloration is their personality;
they are valued additions to reef aquaria, with a reputation for being
friendly and entertaining. The yellow clown goby inhabits the coral
reefs of sheltered lagoons. Unlike most gobies, which are burrowers,
Gobiodon sp. roost in the outer branches of acropora (staghorn) corals,
in groups of five to fifteen individuals.
