Natural Environment: Inhabit small caves

General Husbandry: Has a wide temperature range of 68 - 82°F (20 - 28°C). Requires a constant supply of live food, such as enriched live adult brine shrimp and black worms. Does best in dimly lit reef aquariums that have been established well over six months where it may find an adequate supply of live benthic invertebrates. If not in a well-established reef system with few crustacean eaters, it requires numerous feeding per day of live food.
