A small, deep-reef goldie with a peachy-orange body washed in pink-purple, a yellow snout and dorsal fin, and iridescent violet-blue pelvic fins edged in red on dominant males. Peaceful and shy, it hovers in the mid-water column and needs plenty of caves, overhangs, and ledges to retreat into, plus calm tankmates that won't outcompete it at feeding time. Keep one male with several females in a mature 70-gallon-plus reef with strong flow, a tight lid, and multiple small feedings of zooplankton-type foods daily.
