Bright yellow in coloration and endemic to the islands of Hawaii, this is a fish Biota breeds in conjunction with the Oceanic Institute of Hawaii Pacific University.

In our facilities, we frequently feed a mixed diet of appropriately sized TDO C1 and C2 pellets, nori, frozen food blends, spirulina brine shrimp.
