Tank Environment
For successful aquarium culture, this fish needs good sand/coral rubble cover for burrow building and lots of rock cover; a reef environment is suitable. The recommended minimum tank size is 20 gallons (80 litres). It may be possible to keep these fish happily in smaller "nano reefs", but this is not advised. The water specific gravity should be 1.023 - 1.025, with a pH of 8.1 - 8.4; water temperature at 72 - 76°F / 22 - 25°C is ideal.

“Maturity involves being honest and true to oneself, making decisions based on a conscious internal process, assuming responsibility for one’s decisions, having healthy relationships with others and developing one’s own true gifts. It involves thinking about one’s environment and deciding what one will and won’t accept.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
