The Tobacco Basslet, Serranus tabcarius, features a burnt orange/red colored body along with white or blue splotches along the dorsal section. Like many Basslets, they should not be housed with another Basslets to avoid aggression, and are better kept with larger tank mates. 

Corals are safe from this Basslet, though they will consume smaller fish and invertebrates present in the tank. Diet should include a variety of live or frozen mysis shrimp and vitamin enriched brine shrimp as well as chopped meaty foods like clam, krill, shrimp and squid 1-2 times daily.
