Description
The Springeri Dottyback is a small, brightly colored saltwater fish known for its vibrant purple hue. They are popular in the aquarium trade due to their hardiness and lively behavior.
Reef Safe
Yes, Springeri Dottybacks are considered reef safe, but they may eat small shrimp and other crustaceans.
Environment
Springeri Dottybacks prefer a tank with plenty of rockwork and hiding spaces, as they are cave dwellers in the wild. They can adapt to a variety of lighting conditions.
Behavior
Springeri Dottybacks are known for their territorial behavior, especially towards other dottybacks. They are best kept in a tank with plenty of hiding spaces and should be introduced last into a community tank to reduce aggression.

@SassyTurtle12
Definitely less aggressive than most dottybacks, but is still a dottyback. Will leave some fish alone (clowns, damsels, cardinals) and harass others (basslets, gobies). Needs lots of rockwork to prowl around. Definitely works in community tanks as long as it is added later in the process. Pros: peaceful by Dottyback standards, deep black body with blue markings is unique Cons: can be a bully at times, especially towards bottom-dwellers and cave-dwellers Availability: difficult to find
