Care & environment

Maintain a well-filtered marine aquarium with stable temperature and salinity. Suitable for mixed tanks and fish-only systems, and it appreciates ample hiding places and live rock to mimic its natural habitat and reduce stress. Regular water testing and routine maintenance will help ensure long-term health and color.

Ideal tank mates

Choose peaceful, non-aggressive residents that won’t outcompete for food or space. Avoid keeping with larger predators or fish that nip at tails. Introduce newcomers during calm periods with proper acclimation to ease blending into the community.
