Yellow Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus cinctus)
The Yellow Watchman Goby is a hardy and charismatic bottom-dweller, well-loved for its bright yellow body, comical expressions, and symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp. This small but fascinating fish is known for its burrowing behavior and watchful nature, making it an entertaining addition to any reef or marine aquarium.
