Juveniles are recognised for their bold blue and black colouration and perform natural cleaning behaviour, removing parasites and dead tissue from larger reef fish. As they mature, their appearance and feeding behaviour change considerably, making this a particularly interesting but specialised species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeaceful to semi-aggressive. Generally suitable with tangs, angelfish, butterflyfish, clownfish, and other reef fish. Juveniles may establish cleaning stations visited by larger tankmates, while adults can become more assertive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReef-safe with caution.\u003c\/strong\u003e Juveniles primarily act as cleaner fish, but adults undergo a significant dietary change and are known to feed on coral polyps, particularly SPS corals. For this reason, mature specimens may not be suitable for conventional reef aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarnivore\/Corallivore – juveniles naturally consume parasites, mucus, and tissue from other fish. Offer mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, copepods, and high-quality marine preparations. Adults naturally incorporate coral polyps into their diet, which needs to be considered before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Parameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 24–27°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalinity: 1.023–1.026 SG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 8.1–8.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Tank Size: \u003cstrong\u003e250L\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced – this species has specialised natural feeding behaviour and can be challenging to maintain long-term.
