• Special requirements: Requires an extremely large, specialized aquarium with a soft sand substrate to prevent injury to its disc and allow for natural burrowing behavior. Excellent filtration and water quality are paramount. Live or frozen meaty foods are essential. Due to its size and potential for injury from its venomous spine, professional care is mandatory.
