Harlequin, or clown or spotted, Sweetlips require a large aquarium, 150 gallon or larger. It needs a larger tank to provide it with ample swimming room and plenty of hiding places. Not recommended for a reef tank as it will eat various worms and crustaceans.
When first introduced into the aquarium, it requires live food such as freshwater ghost shrimp, marine shrimp, or black worms. Once it has acclimated, most marine carnivore preparations will be acceptable.
