Care and observations

The Instant Snack: They are absurdly tiny. If you put them in a tank with Clownfish, Wrasses, or Dottybacks, they will be hunted down and swallowed whole in seconds. They rely completely on the stinging tentacles of Anemones for protection. Sometimes they rogue and start picking at Zoanthid corals.
