Firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica)

Native to the tropical reefs of the Indo-Pacific, the Firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica) is a popular fish in the marine aquarium hobby. They are also commonly known as the Firefish Goby, the Fire Goby, the Magnificent Dartfish, or the Fire Dartfish. As a relatively peaceful and reef-safe species, the Firefish is sure to add a splash of color and personality to your saltwater setup. These fish have unparalleled coloration, with bodies of yellow and red with splashes of yellow and iridescence. The Firefish Goby has an active personality, but does require plenty of hiding spaces to escape to when threatened. Be sure to keep them in a heavily decorated tank with a tight-fitting lid!
