Spectacular, and among the most frequently lost fish in the marine trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1.1rem 0 .25rem;font-weight:600;font-size:1rem;line-height:1.3\"\u003eFeeding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeeds on sponge and encrusting invertebrates in the wild. Requires sponge-based preparations, live blackworm, mysis and clam, several times daily. Many specimens refuse food entirely and starve within weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1.1rem 0 .25rem;font-weight:600;font-size:1rem;line-height:1.3\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeaceful but extremely timid. Not reef safe - will pick at corals and anemones. Cannot compete with boisterous tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1.1rem 0 .25rem;font-weight:600;font-size:1rem;line-height:1.3\"\u003eBehaviour and personality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrifts slowly, mimicking a toxic flatworm as a juvenile. Loses the orange margin entirely with age and becomes a large plain grey disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1.1rem 0 .25rem;font-weight:600;font-size:1rem;line-height:1.3\"\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease be aware before buying: this species has one of the worst survival records in the marine hobby, and most specimens die of starvation within the first months. The dramatic black-and-orange juvenile is also a temporary phase - the adult is a plain grey fish 40 cm tall. Many experienced marine keepers avoid it entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":57335375331703,"sku":"AG-101858","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":57335375364471,"sku":"AG-103414","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":57335375397239,"sku":"AG-103415","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/realaquatics.co.uk\/collections\/marine-batfish.oembed","provider":"Real Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
