Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: peaceful
- Diet: carnivore
- Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
- Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful reef-safe fish. Best kept in groups of their own kind (one male with multiple females). Avoid aggressive tank mates.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and open swimming space. A constant supply of small, meaty foods (e.g., enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, copepods) fed multiple times a day is crucial due to their high metabolism. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential.
