Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate

  • Diet: omnivore

  • Compatibility: Generally compatible with most peaceful to semi-aggressive marine fish. Can be kept in pairs or small groups if introduced simultaneously to a sufficiently large tank. Avoid keeping with aggressive species or very small, timid fish. May nip at corals, especially soft corals and zoanthids, but is generally considered 'reef-safe with caution'.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing. A varied diet is crucial for long-term health. Good water quality and stable parameters are essential. Provide ample swimming space.
