Lantern Basslet (Serranus baldwini)

Another egg-trading Serranus, splitting male and female duties with its mate across a spawning bout instead of settling into one role permanently. Small, hardy, and constantly on the move low in the water column, it fills a niche most reef tanks are missing without asking for much in return.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful · Max size: ~2.5" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Carnivore, meaty foods
