• Compatibility: Best kept in very large aquariums with other large, robust fish. Not suitable for reef tanks with delicate corals due to its grazing habits. Can be aggressive towards smaller or more docile tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a very large tank with ample swimming space and plenty of live rock for grazing and shelter. A deep sand bed is beneficial as they may bury themselves at night.
