Minimum volume	200 l (53 gal) ? "Minimum volume" indicates the size of the tank needed to house this species under optimal conditions. This is based on a medium size animal, which you want to keep for several years. It might be possible to keep smaller specimens for a limited period in a smaller tank. A larger tank might be needed for fully-grown specimens.
Hardiness	Average ? "Hardiness" indicates how resistant this species is to disease and how well i tolerates bad conditions in general. Some species doesn't handle transportation very well, but that doesn't mean that the species isn't hardy under the right conditions.
Suitable for Aquarium	Suitable with care ? In this case, a "normal" aquarium is a reef aquarium with mixed corals or a fish only aquarium with an approximately salinity of 1.026 (sg) and a temperature close to 26°C. Species requiring more than a 4000-liter tank are considered not suitable for home aquarium. Special aquariums may cover tanks with low salinity, sub-tropical temperature, deep sand bed, sea grass etc.

Beware of

Eat stony coral polyps
This species eat stony coral polyps .

Fastidious
This species can be fastidious and in an aquarium it can be very difficult to get them to eat sufficiently.

Keep in mind

Live food
There is a greater chance of success with this species if one can supply a living feed to allow it to adapt to the tank.

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.

Can coexist as a pair
They can live as a pair provided they are introduced simultaneously.

Removes parasitic life
This species is able to remove parasites from fish. It does not have a great impact on a large outbreak of marine ich (Cryptocaryon), for example, but it contributes towards keeping fish parasite free. Constant cleaning can stress the fish in the aquarium, so one should not add this fish which removes parasites, if the fish are already weakened through other causes. Not all specimens actively clean fish.

Hermaphroditic
This species can change gender from female to male. When a male is needed, a female changes sex and takes on the role.
