An extraordinary fish, to be maintained in a specific aquarium. Very gluttonous he will eat any other fish reaching up to his own size.
Maintain in an aquarium with soft current flow (a bit like an aquarium for hippocamples), because it is a bad swimmer. In the sea, it is associated with Sargassus blades, which it uses as "raft" to stabilize in the water and hunt on the lookout. He is the only "pelagic" antenna of his family, he does not live on the reef like the others, but is found in the open sea, because of his specific habitat in the colonies of algae present off the coast and In the oceans, sometimes at a very long distance from firm land.
