Easy to care for and very calm in the tank. I kept it in a 30-gallon with sand and rocks, and it just sits near the bottom. Feeds well on brine shrimp. Not for reef tanks though, so make sure you plan accordingly.

Great for beginners. It doesn’t stress other fish and stays quiet. Only issue is it eats soft corals, so I removed a few fleshy ones before introducing it.

Perfect starter fish. Very passive and doesn’t jump around. Feeds on frozen food regularly. Just make sure the tank has enough hiding spots.
