The fish is active and colorful. I’ve kept it in a 90-gallon tank with plenty of live rock and it seems happy. Feeding it meaty foods like brine shrimp and mysis works well.

Looks beautiful in the tank. The coloration is vibrant and it’s not aggressive. I added some caves and it seems to prefer them. Needs a balanced diet of meaty foods.

Great addition to my reef tank. The fish is calm and stays in one area. I feed it daily with frozen foods and it’s very active during feeding time.
