Care and observations
Photophobia Starvation: They absolutely hate modern bright reef lights. If you do not provide deeply shaded caves, they will refuse to eat entirely and starve to death. You must feed them exclusively at night or under dim blue lights, and always use puncture-proof gloves to avoid an emergency room visit.
