Description: The Lantern Basslet is a cool, hardy fish that originates from the Caribbean. They have a rambunctious personality and recognize when it's feeding time! This fish will readily accept any prepared foods. The Lantern Basslet will appreciate ample rockwork as they like to inhabit rocky and grassy areas in the wild. This fish is reef safe and will not bother corals, but it will eat small shrimp and fish that can fit in its mouth. They are characterized by its red and brown blotches on the body, and its red eyes.
