Pterogobius elapoides. The Banded Goby is a very rare and colorful goby. Banded Gobies have a mostly whitish pink body with strong vertical black stripes lined with yellow. Banded Gobies also have a mostly yellow head.
Banded Gobies reach a maximum adult size of around 4 inches and need to be kept in tanks that are at least 20 gallons in size. Banded Gobies are strong jumpers and need to be kept in tanks that have a tight fitting lid with no holes large enough for them to jump through if spooked. Banded Gobies are peaceful fish and shouldn't bother other fish, coral or inverts in your tank. This makes the Banded Goby a great fish to add to reef tanks.
