The Splendid Dottyback is dark grey and black with rows of yellow-orange spots on the sides, dorsal, and anal fins. A black bar passes through the eye and the dorsal and ventral fins have pale blue edging. It is found among corals and sponges at depths from 10 to 115 feet. They can be aggressive toward other Splendid Dottybacks and similar species, and need plenty of hiding places to feel comfortable. They will spend most of their time darting from crevice to crevice looking for small food items. They are ideal for reef aquariums but may eat ornamental shrimp. They easily adapt to frozen foods like brine shrimp or mysis shrimp.
