Compatibility warnings
- May nip LPS corals, clams and zoanthids; watch it in a reef.
- Check adult size against the final tank, not the fish or coral at purchase size.
- Add livestock slowly so the bioload and nutrient export can keep up.
- Use the planner when this animal changes the tank-size, flow, lighting, or stocking plan.
Professional planning context
- Use the 70 gallon minimum as an adult-planning floor; display length, aquascape, and existing tankmates can raise that floor.
- Hold this entry until the system has at least 2 months of maturity or equivalent stability evidence.
- Professionals should model aggression by territory and introduction order, not only by care level.
