Received the tiny Yellow Eye Kole Tang in good condition. It’s active and peaceful in my 55-gallon reef tank. No aggression or coral damage observed after two months. Easy to maintain with proper water parameters.

The fish arrived quickly and looks healthy. It’s small but vibrant with bright yellow eyes. I’m happy with the size and temperament. Still monitoring for any signs of stress or aggression.

Perfect for intermediate reef keepers. The fish is calm and doesn’t bother the corals. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in my 60-gallon tank.
