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 1.022-1.025 (at 25°C) and temperature between 22-27°C. The Masked Spinefoot likes to eat artemia, big frozen food, krill, lettuce, mysis, nori and seaweed.
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 is peaceful, which means it probably won't attack other fishes. Alas, a lot of peaceful fish do get easily harassed by other, bigger and more aggressive fish. Keep this in mind when mixing different types of fish. Having a lot of hiding places might help in the process.
