- Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful reef-safe fish. Avoid keeping with aggressive species or very small, shy fish that might be outcompeted for food. Can be kept in pairs or small groups if introduced simultaneously to a sufficiently large tank with ample hiding spots.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A sand bed is beneficial as they may burrow at night or when stressed. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial. Provide a varied diet of meaty foods.
