Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
  • Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other reef-safe fish, but can be territorial with conspecifics or similar-looking species if not introduced properly or in sufficient numbers. Best kept in groups (harem) with one male and multiple females.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with ample live rock for hiding and perching. A tight-fitting lid is essential as they are known jumpers.
