Behavior

A Caribbean species that inhabits sponges and coral rubble in shallow reef zones. Peaceful and small enough for the smallest reef setups. Captive bred specimens are occasionally available and are hardier than wild-caught fish.

Diet & Feeding

Omnivore/carnivore. Feeds on small invertebrates, copepods, and parasites in the wild. Accept frozen mysis, baby brine shrimp, and fine reef foods.

Cautions

Very small and delicate. Requires a reef tank with plenty of hiding places. Best with very gentle tank mates only.
