General information
General features
The head is large, occupying 1/3 of the body length, and the size of the mouth is also impressive. The overall color is dark brown, with reddish tones, and it also has small, irregular beige to bright white spots. Some cultivation initiatives already exist. An interesting fact: All individuals first mature (when they are able to reproduce) as females, and as adults, individuals can reverse sex to male or remain female, with the largest ones almost always being male.
