This peaceful species thrives in tanks of at least 50 gallons with plenty of live rock for grazing and shelter. Known for their graceful swimming and elegant appearance, they reach up to 8 inches at maturity. While generally reef-compatible, they should be introduced with caution as they may nip at small crustaceans and some coral polyps.
