Care guide
Care notes
Care notes for this piece, from our tanks to yours. A care guide comes with your order, too.
Flow
Low to moderate, so it can move freely across the sand.
Feeding
A detritivore that eats decaying matter, leftover food and biofilm. In low-nutrient tanks, offer the occasional bit of frozen food or a sinking pellet.
Placement
Directly on the sand bed, away from sharp rock and aggressive tankmates. Best in peaceful community tanks.
Acclimation
Sensitive to salinity changes: drip acclimate slowly over 1–2 hours and keep it out of the air.
