Very peaceful and personable fish. They are rumored to be very hard to get eating but mine was eating in the the store and has never stopped. Hides often during the day but is usually out in the mornings until noon. If you can find a healthy one I would recommend picking one up as it’s gorgeous colors would impress any reefer and non reefer alike.
