    Aquarium Care and Diet

    Temperament: Generally peaceful, though they are very active swimmers and benefit from a spacious tank (75 gallons or larger).

  • Diet: Omnivorous and hardy; they readily accept standard aquarium foods like flakes, pellets and frozen mysis or brine shrimp.
  • Aiptasia Control: Many reef hobbyists use them as a utilitarian choice to clear out nuisance Aiptasia(glass anemones).
  • Reef Caution: While safe at smaller sizes, adults can occasionally nip at fleshy large polyp stony (LPS) corals if they are not well-fed.
