Caracanthus Gobies are found among SPS corals, where they feed on coral mucous. Gobies are easy, hardy and peaceful but may become aggressive towards similar species. Caracanthus Gobies have venomous spines, avoid handling. Avoid nets as they may become entangled. Feed a diet rich in meaty foods multiple times daily.
