• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 750 gallons (2800 liters) for a single adult, larger for multiple individuals
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other large, peaceful, cold-water marine species that are not small enough to be considered prey. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
