Blue Eye Candy Cane Cardinal

Blue Eye Candy Cane Cardinal

Features a striped body with its characteristic blue eyeliner surrounding its eyes. They should be given a dark shelter, since they are active at night and specifically hides under ledges and corals during the day. Therefore, the reef tank has to be decorated with enough rock work and reef crevices. The Blue Eye Cardinal thrives well in lower temperatures, but 72-78 degrees Fahrenheit while ensuring a strong filtration is acceptable. The levels of nitrate, ammonia and nitrite should be kept low for its healthy survival and growth.
