Care Level: Moderate to advanced due to size and dietary needs.

Tank Requirements: Minimum tank size of 180 litres (approximately 50 gallons) recommended to provide ample swimming space and reduce territorial behaviour.
Compatibility: Compatible with most peaceful community fish but avoid housing with aggressive species or other rabbitfish to prevent disputes.

Ensure stable water parameters with good filtration and moderate water flow. Provide plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding places to mimic natural habitat. Regular water changes and a balanced diet will promote health and vibrant colours.
