This peaceful species is ideal for reef tanks and can coexist with other non-aggressive marine fish. Suitable tankmates include small wrasses, clownfish, and gobies. Avoid housing it with aggressive or predatory species that may outcompete it for food. It often pairs well with other sand-sifting gobies for added activity at the substrate level.
