Masked Goby (Coryphopterus personatus)

[LobsterOfJustice]

Anybody keeping these? I feel like a small group would be cool in a larger tank. LA describes them as hovering above the bottom in caves and shaded areas. Just don't want to spend $200 on a small group for them to be a total bust.

I too would be interested to hear if anyone has experience with these guys in large reef tanks.

Well, these are on sale this week at LA, so I'm giving it a try. 5 will be here on Tuesday.

Let us know your thoughts as I am considering a group for my new build.

1 DOA but the others seem to be doing well. Received 5 Trimma rubromaculatus in the same order. All 9 fish were eating the day after introduction to the QT tank.

Shame about the 1 doa but otherwise they look fantastic!

Interesting fish!

I found an article about a breeding study with these: Breeding Coryphopterus personatus in Aquaria
