Care guide

Care notes

Care notes for this piece, from our tanks to yours. A care guide comes with your order, too.

Lighting

No special needs. It adapts to your reef lights and hides under ledges while it settles.

Flow

Moderate flow, with some rock cover to retreat into.

Feeding

Cleaning isn’t enough on its own. Offer finely chopped meaty foods, sinking pellets or freeze-dried plankton daily or every other day.

Placement

Peaceful with fish, corals and other inverts, but can be territorial with its own kind unless kept as a pair or small group. Avoid aggressive wrasses, hawkfish and triggers.
