This goby is very entertaining and those lucky enough to have it in their aquarium will thoroughly enjoy it's behavior. While poised outside its burrow, the Dracula Goby keeps a watchful eye for both predators and prey. If a larger or aggressive fish approaches, the Dracula Goby will dart back into its burrow to hide.
