Beware of

Territorial
These fish enjoy having their own territory and can be very aggressive towards most approaching fishes.

Keep in mind

As a pair or in a shoal

This species is happiest as a pair or in a shoal. A shoal should consist of 1 male to 5 or more females.

They can be aggressive towards each other, so in a small shoal there can be aggression towards one specimen, but this can disappear over time.
Hermaphroditic
This species can change gender from female to male.
When a male is needed, a female changes sex and takes on the role.
Hiding amongst stony corals

This species likes to hide in and amongst the branches of corals, e.g. Acropora coral and will also do well if they can find other hiding places.
Shoals

These fish swim in shoals at the fish store or when newly introduced into the tank.

Some aquarists report that after a while in the aquarium, their fish stop this behavior and can then become aggressive towards each other.
