Received the Red Scooter Dragonet in good condition. It’s vibrant red and active in the tank. After setting up a 75-gallon reef tank with proper lighting and flow, it adapted well. Peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. Only recommended for experienced aquarists.

The dragonet arrived healthy and looks stunning. It’s a great addition to a reef tank. I’ve had to monitor water parameters closely, but it’s thriving. Not for beginners, but worth the effort.

This is one of the most colorful dragonets I’ve seen. It’s active and doesn’t damage corals. The Maldives red color is very vivid. I’ve maintained stable water conditions and it’s been stable for over three months.
