They will need an aquarium of at least 180 gallons or more with plenty of swimming room and rocks with caves to sleep and hide. Make sure your rock is secure as they are known to knock over rock and coral. They are not considered reef safe as they will eat your crustaceans and possibly smaller fish. Their diet consists of mysis, brines, krill, squid, and clams. They need hard-shelled foods to keep their teeth filed down.
