Aquarium Setup & Compatibility
Best in a spacious fish-only-with-live-rock system. May eat shrimp, crabs, mollusks and small fish; not suitable with a typical reef cleanup crew. Secure rockwork and fit a tight lid. Color and sex vary; green coloration is generally associated with males.
Feeding for Long-Term Success
Carnivore: chopped marine seafood, mysis and suitable marine carnivore preparations.
Water & Arrival
Provide a fully cycled, stable marine aquarium around 75–78°F, specific gravity 1.024–1.026 and pH 8.1–8.4. Ammonia and nitrite should be undetectable. Follow the supplied arrival instructions and avoid abrupt salinity or temperature changes. Use a covered aquarium and species-appropriate quarantine setup.
Useful Pairings
Prepare with our fish acclimation and isolation equipment, fish foods and water testing supplies. Select foods to match this fish’s diet; acclimation equipment does not replace quarantine.
