CAPTIVE CARE - Will eat some algae, an excellent fish for acclimating new tanks, has a high tolerance for water conditions that will kill other fish. Juveniles can be kept in groups, as they mature they become aggressive towards each other and tankmates of similar size, do not keep with docile tankmates. Keep only one or a mated pair per tank, juveniles shelter in anemones in the wild, keep only in a moderately aggressive community tank with tankmates that can defend themselves.
