The fish is very colorful and active. It does rearrange the rocks, so make sure your tank has plenty of structure. Feeding it squid and clams keeps it healthy. Needs space and a calm tank environment.

Beautiful green and orange pattern. It’s loud when it grunts, which is noticeable but not disturbing. I had to remove a small fish that was too timid. Otherwise, it’s a great addition to a large tank.

Looks stunning in the tank. The teeth wear down well with krill and shrimp. It’s not for small tanks or mixed communities. Requires a lot of space and careful planning.
