Beware of

Jumps out of open aquaria
This species is known to jump out of open aquaria.

Dart holes
This fish requires holes for hiding. It is incapable of digging its own holes, so the reef keeper must provide sufficient hiding places. 3/4″ PVC is ideal for these holes which should lead to a bigger chamber. It is best if such a chamber has multiple exits.

Keep in mind

Best as a pair
This species thrives best in a pair. (Male and female)

Likes to hide at first
These fish may well hide themselves for a while, whilst getting acclimatized. Do not disturb the fish while acclimating because it will prolong the process.

Docile
This species is very shy and docile, so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish.

Frequent feeding
This fish requires feeding several times a day, especially when newly added. When the fish can find its natural food in the aquarium it requires less frequent feeding.

Any number of specimens
This species can function in large numbers down to just one.
