The Red Scooter Dragonet is also known as the Starry Dragonet or Stellate Dragonet. The body of the fish is a mix of white and red, with dark spots that are large. Males usually have more vivid colors and a bigger dorsal fin.
It would prefer a reef tank of 30 gallons or more with plenty of live rocks to hide and graze upon. The substrate should be a live sand bed and the tank must include docile fish. A variety of species could be kept and it is recommended to introduce all of them to the aquarium at the same time. The ratio is 2 to 3 females for every male. A 55 gallon or bigger aquarium is required when there is more than one male.
A Red Scooter Dragonet diet should comprise brine shrimp bloodworms and glassworms as well as small invertebrates. They are slow-moving and mindful feeders and do not need to compete for food sources.
