Overview
The Warthead Goby Paragobiodon modestus has an unusual look due to its red head, black body and fins, and all over bumpy or warty appearance. It also has a prominent lower jaw and thick lips. A peaceful marine fish that is reef safe, this Goby can make its home in smaller aquariums twenty-two gallons and larger.
In nature, it lives among the branches of live stony corals, feeding on the mucus of the coral and zooplankton. In an aquarium environment, it can be fed enriched Mysis and brine shrimp, as well as zooplankton.
