Easy to care for and very active in the tank. I love how it hides in the sand and explores the rocks. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. Just make sure you don’t have fleshy corals nearby.

Great addition to my 30-gallon tank. It’s calm and curious. Feeds well on brine shrimp. I noticed it eats some of the soft corals, so I removed them to keep it safe.

Perfect for a beginner aquarist. It’s not aggressive and stays in the sand area most of the time. The only thing to watch is the coral setup.
