Care & Compatibility

Royal Grammas are peaceful and easygoing, making them excellent additions to reef aquariums. They coexist well with most other small, non-aggressive fish. Avoid housing them with larger predatory species or aggressive dottybacks that may intimidate them. Provide rockwork with crevices to mimic their natural habitat and ensure they feel secure.
