Goby home pack V - 2x Shells - Two separate clam shells for small shrimp gobies, and other burrowers.

An ideal home for many small fish and inverts.

Clam shells are great for burrowing creatures such as shrimp gobies, pistol shrimps, and jawfish.

They can use the large flat shells to make an ideal strong curved roof, giving them a deluxe tunnel to live in. There are two shells in each pack, each around 2" to 3" across.

Larger burrowing creatures such as sand sifting gobies would want a larger house than this, and so a large flat piece of rock is a better sized home for them. But for smaller Gobies, and other small burrowing creatures these make ideal places for them to make a home.

What are the advantages of adding seashells to the reef tank?

Seashells are a vital part of a real coral reef. Hermit crabs aren't the only creatures to live inside them. Many small fish such as small gobies, blennies, and even firefish will use the shell as a home, as will some shrimp species. Shells are also useful as safe breeding spots for Amphipods and Copepods. Some larger creatures such as Jawfish and sand sifting gobies may be too large to fit inside, but, often use them to add strength to their tunnels. Some territorial fish will use shells as boundary markers to mark the edge of their territory. Careful positioning of 1 or 2 larger shells can sometimes stop territory disputes. A trick often used by keepers of Central American Cichlids!
