FAMILY - Gobidae
SCIENTIFIC NAME - Cryptocentrus Leptocephalus
COMMON NAME - Pinkspotted Shrimp Goby (Singapore Shrimp Goby)
SIZE - 5.9" (15 cm)
RANGE - Eastern Indian Ocean and Western Pacific
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 30 US Gal. (114 L)
FOODS AND FEEDING - Meaty foods, fresh or frozen mysid shrimp, vitamin enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped table shrimp, frozen preparations for carnivores, feed min. 2 times a day.

REEF COMPATIBILITY - Will eat ornamental shrimps, will not harm sessile invertebrates.
CAPTIVE CARE - One of the more aggressive members of this group, adults will attack other gobies and smaller unrelated fishes such as assessors or wrasses.
