This fish is generally considered reef safe, though it is a carnivore so a meaty diet should be provided in order to keep it happy and not examining the possibility of eating something tiny in your tank such as small shrimp. It is best to keep only one male per tank, as males will fight if kept together. If a hobbyist desires to keep several of this fish in a tank, it should be done as a single male and a harem of multiple females and should be done only in a large tank of 100+ gallons.
