CAPTIVE CARE - Not often seen for sale, best to acquire captive bred if possible, this fish ships poorly from its native waters, and if you buy wild make sure the specimen is heathy and feeding, can be kept in small groups if enough anemones are available, prefers the Magnificent Sea Anemone (Heteractis Magnifica) as its host.
