These fish are extremely popular because they're not only gorgeous with their bright complementary colors, but they're hardy, robust, and easy even for beginners to keep and feed. Unlike many other small fish, they're not as timid after the acclimation period and tend to spend time in the water column entertaining their humans. They are peaceful toward even the most timid fish like seahorses. They're completely reef safe with all inverts and corals (except maybe hitchhiking amphipods that grow in most tanks).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis species does well in nano tanks, but they're gregarious enough for large tanks.
