General Husbandry: Has a temperature range of 75 - 82?F (24 - 28?C) and feeds upon algae and some benthic invertebrate. Even though an omnivore, they are excellent herbivores and require a large amount of vegetable matter in their diet. In fact, they are one of the better hair alga consumers. Requires a varied diet made up of mostly vegetable matter, especially some Spirulina flake and some nori (dried seaweed/kelp). Should receive at least several feedings per day. They are easy to feed, none aggressive, and resistant to poor water quality. Keep in mind they have venomous dorsal and anal fins, similar to lionfish, and care must be taken in their handling. Not safe with some soft corals, such as Xenia. One per tank unless a mated pair.

General Husbandry: Accepts a wide variety of foods in the aquarium including fortified brine shrimp, mysis, and flake food, especially Spirulina. Requires three or four feedings per day. Color varies somewhat depending upon area of collection. Very hardy, yet somewhat shy, and needs many hiding places. May nip corals and clams, therefore risky in some reef environments. Not suited for a small aquarium, i.e., 30 gallons or less, as they may become quite dominating in small aquariums. Always select an individual that looks active, alert, full-bodied, interested in its surroundings and accepts food. Demonstrating curiosity and searching for food are also good signs of a healthy fish. Prefers a temperature of 72 - 82?F (22 ? 27?C).
