Special requirements

  • Adult Aggression Management

    While peaceful as juveniles, adults become highly aggressive and territorial. They should be housed with other aggressive semi-aggressive species in tanks with plenty of hiding places.

  • Invertebrate Safety

    Despite their aggressive temperament toward other fish, they are reef-safe and will not harm corals or most mobile invertebrates.

  • Acropora Association

    In nature, they are frequently found associated with small coral heads and Acropora thickets for protection. Providing similar rockwork or branching structures is ideal.

  • Varied Diet

    Requires a diverse diet including meaty items, herbivore preparations, and high-quality flakes to maintain health and coloration.
