Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: semi-aggressive
- Diet: carnivore
- Minimum tank size: 150 gallons
- Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other large, robust fish that can tolerate its semi-aggressive nature. Avoid keeping with smaller, docile fish or invertebrates that it may prey upon. Can be territorial towards conspecifics unless the tank is very large with ample hiding spots.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established marine aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A deep sand bed is beneficial as they may bury themselves at night or when stressed. Excellent filtration and stable water parameters are crucial. Provide a varied diet of meaty foods.
