Common name: Gobies

Coryphopterus is a genus of small, peaceful gobies often found in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. These gobies are known for their interesting behaviors and are a favorite among reef aquarium hobbyists. They tend to stay small, making them suitable for nano and larger reef tanks. Coryphopterus species are sand sifters, playing a role in the cleanup crew by consuming detritus and uneaten food. They are also known for their symbiotic relationships with burrowing shrimps, sharing their burrows and providing a lookout for predators. These gobies are relatively easy to care for, requiring stable water conditions and a diet of small meaty foods.
