Great color but can be prone to head/ lateral line

If you can get them acclimated, beautiful addition

If you can get them properly acclimated, they can be a beautiful addition to your reef tank. We've had one now for about two years and it gets along great with all the inhabitants.

Nice looking fish
| Comments |
Seemingly easy to care for. Extremely active. Gets along with all other tank mates. Very skittish. Requires a larger tank min 70 gallons.
