Two Spot Goby – Signigobius biocellatus
The Two Spot Goby, scientifically known as Signigobius biocellatus, is also commonly called the Twinspot Goby, Signal Goby, or Crabeye Goby. It is one of the most beautiful sand-sifting gobies, admired for its elegant coloration and its tall dorsal fins decorated with two large eye-like spots that give this species its distinctive appearance.
Its white body is beautifully patterned with orange markings and delicate stripes, while the raised dorsal fins create a dramatic display that makes this goby one of the most eye-catching bottom-dwelling fish for reef aquariums.

- A mature refugium rich in copepods and amphipods is highly recommended.
- Provide live rock and several hiding places.

Compatibility & Temperament
| Aggression Level | Peaceful |
| Reef Compatibility | Yes |
| Fish Compatibility | Compatible with most peaceful reef fish and rarely displays aggression toward other species. |

The Two Spot Goby naturally sifts mouthfuls of sand to extract tiny worms, crustaceans, and other microscopic organisms before releasing the cleaned sand back into the aquarium, helping maintain a healthy and well-aerated substrate.
Feeding
This species naturally feeds on tiny organisms found within the sand bed and should receive a varied supplemental diet in captivity.
Recommended foods include:
- Vitamin-enriched Mysis Shrimp.
- Vitamin-enriched Brine Shrimp.
- Live Blackworms.
- Frozen marine foods.
- High-quality pellets formulated for carnivorous marine fish.
Reefamorous Tip: Feed several small meals daily and maintain a mature live sand bed rich in microfauna to ensure successful long-term care and easy acclimation.
