Moderate This fish is considered a moderately difficult one. Read well into how to care for this fish and which tank mates it needs, so you can take good care of it. You can't give it enough space, give it a 2000 liter tank to enjoy a healthy and happy fish. Keep your salinity within 1.022-1.027 (at 25°C) and temperature between 23-28°C. The Red Sea Clown Surgeon likes to eat artemia, big frozen food, clam meat, flakes, krill, lettuce, mysis, nori and seaweed.

No corals for the Red Sea Clown Surgeon. Your carefully maintained corals should be safe with this fish in your tank, because it is considered reefsafe.

We consider the Red Sea Clown Surgeon to be a semi-aggressive fish. Be careful when introducing it to your less (or more) aggressive fish. It is, however, not a fish that will be the terror of your tank.
