الوصف

Beware of

Live food
This species thrives best in an aquarium with sufficient food on the live rocks. A large number of pods should be visible in the aquarium before acquiring this species.
If it is to be kept in a small or newly set up aquarium be prepared to supplement with live zooplankton. This is not recommended as it takes a lot of effort in order for the fish to thrive.
Some individuals learn, over time, to eat frozen food, but it is hard to supply them with enough. It must also be of high quality and sufficiently varied.
They are not particularly good at catching their food in the water column, especially if uninterested in it.
One should be very patient in order for this to function, or alternatively invest in an appropriate feeding device.

Keep in mind

Hiding places
This species needs good hiding places, for example, between live rocks.
Bred in captivity
This species can be bred in captivity, one can therefore consider asking your local fish store for a captive bred specimen.
