Flying Jet Sea Moth EXPERT ONLY
The Flying Jet Sea Moth is common within the reefs of the Indo Pacific. They are within the Callionymidae family making them very similar to the Mandarin Dragonets and Scooter Blennies. This species is mottled brown in color with a very thin and long body. They possess two dorsal fins with the second one covering most of the back. The mouth area of these fish is frog-like in appearance, and has an interesting camouflage appearance. This is an interesting species that demands plenty of live rock and a mature aquarium.
A 30-gallon or larger reef aquarium that has live sand substrate, docile inhabitants, and lots of live rock makes the ideal aquarium for the Flying Jet Sea Moth. They require live foods that are found within the live rock, and a refugium attached to the aquarium is recommended.

After months of setting up my reef tank, I finally added the Flying Jet Sea Moth. It’s been a few weeks now and it’s thriving. The fish blends well with the live rock and looks very natural. I had to ensure my tank had plenty of live rock and a refugium, which I did. It’s a beautiful addition to the reef.

I bought this fish for my 40-gallon reef tank. It’s not easy to keep, and it took time to establish. The fish is active and camouflages well. I feed it daily with small live foods from the rock. It’s definitely not for beginners.
