They are deep water fish and are not too common in the trade. Like other lions in all other ways except it likes to dig its self in the sand some times. Choosing a healthy specimen is very important for their survival as it can be a little harder to acclimate to tank life then other species. For tankmates anything that wont fit in its mouth. Look downs get to be larger then dinner plates so stay away from them and as for panther groupers they get too large for your system. Just get any other fish that are good sized.
