  • 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 mated pair in a sufficiently large aquarium.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. A varied diet of marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality vegetable flakes/pellets is essential. Good water quality and strong filtration are also important.
