The Blue Speckled Watchman Goby (Cryptocentrus caeruleomaculatus) is a peaceful species that is reef-safe, admired for its striking body pattern, with shimmering blue speckles scattered across its face and fins, sturdy build, and fascinating burrow-guarding behavior often shared with pistol shrimp.
Males typically grow slightly larger, with bolder speckling and more robust head shape, sometimes displaying stronger territorial or courtship behaviors, while females and juveniles remain smaller, with subtler coloration and markings.
They reach about 4–5 inches in length and should be housed in aquariums of at least 30 gallons. Provide a fine sandbed for burrowing, ample live rock for caves and stability, and some open swimming areas, with a secure lid since gobies are known to jump when startled.
Stable water parameters are required for their health, with salinity maintained at 1.020–1.025, temperature between 72–79°F, and pH between 8.1–8.4.
Their diet should consist of mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, copepods, finely chopped meaty seafood, and high-quality sinking pellets. Supplemental live microfauna within the sandbed is beneficial to their long-term well-being.
With proper care, the Blue Speckled Watchman Goby makes a standout addition to reef aquariums, combining utility as a sand-sifting partner with eye-catching speckled beauty and fascinating symbiotic behaviors.
