they get to around 1/2" and arent available all that mush. they do great in smaller tanks with lots of LR and /or branching corals that they use for shelter. it feed mainly on small invertabrates and you will need to provide a varied diet for omnivores also this fish is a great reef tank species that aparently only come on to the hobby market around 2005.

Not sure where you got the above info, but these fish pretty much requires a hosting coral and w/out one they don't live very long.
They seem to require feeding off the coral, whether its from small inverts that get trapped in the mucus of the coral or its the coral flesh or mucus, but eitherway the coral is mandatory for this goby. So unless your tank is setup to handle this coral- i'd pass on this fish
Also you pasted the max size of a "signal goby" not a panda goby
