Difficult There are easy fish, tricky fish and then there's this fish: a difficult one. Don't feel like you're that special girl or guy that can just put it in your aquarium. Read up on it! This fish doesn't take pleasure in swimming in smaller aquariums, it needs at least 750 liter to feel good. Keep your salinity within 1.023-1.025 (at 25°C) and temperature between 22-27°C. It seems the Blackfin Coralfish is a picky eater, it only eats clam meat, shellfish and worms.
This fish is reefsafe with caution. There is a risk involved in introducing it to your corals. Read about the experiences of other hobbyists and make up your own mind about taking that risk. Don't say we didn't warn you!
This fish will most probably attack others of it's own species, and fishes that look like itself!
