I’m looking at buying a coral croucher goby but cant find a ton of info on them, are they are cryptic as everyone says they are?

+1 to this. I am also looking into the red spotted one. They look so fun.From what I've read some of those species are cryptic, but they come out more often over time.
I’m also looking at the spotted one, hopefully you dont have to target feed them forever+1 to this. I am also looking into the red spotted one. They look so fun.
Ya that’s what I was thinkingI’m also looking at the spotted one, hopefully you dont have to target feed them forever
I’ve seen a ton of bonded pairs but the only problem is that they require target feeding which is big turn offFrom what I've read some of those species are cryptic, but they come out more often over time.
They pop up on Divers Den WYSIWG all the time, there is one, and another bonded pair on there today.
already have a gramma and clown in a 25 any other suggestions for fish that most people dont have in a tank?Ya that’s what I was thinking
Same here, which is why I've never pulled the trigger on one.I’ve seen a ton of bonded pairs but the only problem is that they require target feeding which is big turn off

All the ones I’ve seen recently have been the dark red rust colorDo the penny crouchers often display this pink color? I've only ever seen them, well, copper colored. Such a cool looking fish!
Agreed, I’m looking at one or a pair. I have several SPS colonies and it’s a small tank so I’m thinking they should be fine. I’m just like you, target feeding all my inverts every day, so I don’t have an issue with doing the same for a couple coral crouchers.Something I haven't seen anyone say yet: those aren't gobies. They're scorpionfish, and I believe venomous. Not worryingly so, though.
Target feeding really isn't that bad. Just put some food near them. I target feed half a dozen inverts in my tank, to avoid wasting food, and these are animals I have to directly hand the food to with tweezers! Coral crouchers would just need you to squirt some food near them with a turkey baster.
Good to know, have you gotten stung by one yet? I heard its just like a bee stingJust bought a mated pair of the fancy Madagascar coral crouch gobies a few weeks ago from live aquaria divers den. Have them in my Innovative Marine 20 drop off tank. I see them every day. You need to basically feed them with a dropper right at their mouth. They will not swim 2 inches to get to the food. Good news is the ate from the dropper day 1. Would not put them in a large tank immediately. Need to find them to feed them.
