Carnivorous – feeds on hard-shelled foods to help manage its continuously growing teeth, including clams, shrimp, krill, and squid. Supplement with quality frozen or prepared marine foods.

Tank Mates:
Best suited for fish-only or large species tanks. Avoid small invertebrates or delicate reef fish, as they may be nipped or eaten.

Aggression:
Semi-aggressive – generally peaceful toward larger, robust tank mates but can nibble at smaller fish and invertebrates.

Experience Level:
Intermediate to Advanced – requires a well-established, spacious tank with strong filtration and regular feeding of meaty foods.
