Sue Welch –
After six months in a 150-gallon tank, the snapper has grown steadily and remains peaceful. It doesn’t bother other fish and is a great addition to a reef setup. Only recommend for experienced keepers with proper space and conditions.
Julian MacDonald –
The snapper is active and visually striking. It’s been in my tank for four months and shows no signs of aggression. I had to ensure the tank was large enough, but it’s a rewarding addition to a mature reef.
Anne Powell –
It’s a beautiful fish, but it does require a large tank and careful observation. I’m not sure if it’s right for my current setup, but it’s definitely not for beginners.
