Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: aggressive

• Compatibility: Not reef-safe; will consume invertebrates and smaller fish. Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, robust, and aggressive tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with ample swimming space and rockwork for hiding. Excellent filtration is essential due to their messy eating habits.
