Nice, fairly hardy fish for a FOWLR system. Needs a large tank (180+) as an adult but slow growing. Have lots of live rock for grazing and offer it a good varied diet of greens and meaty foods. Not much different in terms of upkeep than most other members of the family. I kept one for awhile years ago. It was somewhat pushy with a few fairy wrasses and a butterfly, but nothing major. Don't buy an adult specimen unless you actually see it eat a variety of foods. Try to find one in the 3-5 inch range. They seem to adapt better.

one if my all time favorite fish. Not reef safe. Can get rather large. Minimum tank is 120g but I have seen them in 75s I had one in my 110g constantly searches for food. And can dominate a whole tank. I would only keep one to a tank even if you had the size. The Juvenal fish have the nice strips you often see in your LFS as they mature and change colors the strips come together and seem like Arabic writhing hence the name Koran angle

LOve mine agree with being pushy call mine the Sheriff. It somehow makes my Lunare Wrasse behave.
