This is one of my favorite fish and was one of the first fish that I added to my reef tank. Now one thing to think about is that they aren't 100% reef safe so take caution if you want to add this fish to your reef tank. So far for me I have had no issues with him in my reef but i also make sure to keep him well feed with seaweed and other meaty foods as well. This fish is a completely peaceful fish that can be housed in both in peaceful tanks and aggressive tanks because he has poisonous spikes on his back and stomach that keeps fish away from him. One of the cool things about this fish is that when it feels threaten or scared it will change its color to a camo color and place himself next to a rock or coral and stick its spikes out. They should be housed in a 75 gallon tank minimum and only keep one unless housed in a bigger tank so they can establish their own territories.
