Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: peaceful
- Diet: herbivore
- Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
- Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other fish, but can be territorial towards conspecifics or similar-looking species if not introduced carefully or if the tank is too small. Best kept singly or in a very large tank with multiple individuals introduced simultaneously.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. A strong protein skimmer and good filtration are essential due to their herbivorous diet and waste production. Provide plenty of open swimming space. Ensure a varied diet of marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality vegetable flakes/pellets.
