Easy

Feeding:
Will eat frozen Plankton, Mysis, Spirulina enriched Brineshrimp. Will readily take dry foods once settled. Like to graze on live rock.

Reef safe:
Safe with crustaceans, snails etc, most soft corals and anemones, but likely to nip at SPS or LPS corals and Clams.

Usually peaceful with similarly sized fish, although maybe aggressive to new introductions once established. Does not mix well with fish that have similar colouration or body shape.

Other information.
Rusty Angels can be quite variable in colouration and patterning. Like many Angels Rusty Angels have spines on the gills which can become entangled in the net when caught.
