This fish has remained quite shy since I acquired it in March. It will tolerate viewers sitting quietly in front of the tank, but any rapid movements or strange behaviors, specifically related to cameras, send it hiding amongst the rocks. I was finally able to get a half decent picture, by sneaking up like National Geographic nature photographer.

Despite the shyness, this is a great species for the smaller reef aquarium. It is a calm fish that spends most of its time perched on the rocks (or hiding), which makes a nice contrast to the typically boisterous clownfish and chromis that I keep.
