This is one of my favorite fish in my tank. While at the pet store their colors are nothing compared to other common fish, they make up for it in their behavior. Constantly “scooting” around the tank, picking up grains of sand, and occasionally showing off their pectoral fin with bright blue dots. I’ve also noticed that they do go through slight color variations throughout the day. They will get blue speckles on their face which is really awesome to see. At night they will then bury themselves in the sand while keeping their eyes exposed. Makes for a fun nightly scavenger hunt.

Was a beautiful fish that added some color to my tank. This fish was sadly lost to my 6line deciding it didn’t like it …
