Care notes
Bold purple-to-yellow bicolor. Hardy and adaptable; great beginner saltwater fish. Territorial toward own species. Often retreats to caves; provide rockwork.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
