Its white body is crossed by bold orange bands and accented with a distinctive orange stripe running through the eye, giving it a clean, understated appearance. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this bottom-dwelling species spends much of its time standing watch outside its burrow, making it one of the most captivating gobies for reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTank Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 20-gallon or larger aquarium with a sandy substrate is recommended. Provide plenty of live rock and rubble to support burrow construction, along with open sand areas where the goby can establish its territory. A secure lid is essential, as this species may jump when startled. Randall's Prawn Gobies are especially rewarding when paired with a compatible pistol shrimp, which will share and maintain a common burrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor, Personality, and Hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis species features a bright white body marked by bold orange bands and a prominent orange stripe through the eye. Peaceful and observant, it spends much of the day perched at the entrance of its burrow, retreating only when threatened. While initially shy, it becomes increasingly confident once acclimated. Randall's Prawn Goby is hardy in mature reef aquariums with stable water quality and a calm environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffer a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped marine meats, and high-quality sinking pellets. Randall's Prawn Gobies readily accept prepared foods once established and benefit from small, frequent feedings. A diverse diet supports healthy growth, vibrant coloration, and long-term success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTankmates and Behavior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompletely reef-safe and exceptionally peaceful, Randall's Prawn Gobies are excellent additions to community reef aquariums. They coexist well with other gentle fish but should not be housed with aggressive or overly territorial species. Their natural partnership with pistol shrimp is one of the most fascinating behaviors in marine aquaria, with the shrimp excavating and maintaining the burrow while the goby serves as a vigilant lookout, warning of approaching danger through constant physical contact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TSA Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51530103783722,"sku":"GOBYxRandalls","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0873\/7322\/files\/tsa-fish-randall-s-goby-amblyeleotris-randalli-1246194358.png?v=1782508931","url":"https:\/\/topshelfaquatics.com\/products\/randalls-goby-amblyeleotris-randalli","provider":"Top Shelf Aquatics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
