Scientific Name: Hypoplectrus guttavarius

The Shy Hamlet is a Caribbean hamlet with a bright yellow body and a dark, blue-edged face patch. Black-colored forms are rarer.

Why We're Obsessed

Hamlets are an underrated Caribbean group, and darker Shy Hamlets are a cool, uncommon find.

Care: Reef safe with corals, but may eat small shrimp. Semi-aggressive toward other hamlets. Feed mysis and krill. Max size about 5". Minimum tank size: 55 gallons.
