Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 10-gallon tank. It blends well with the reef community and hasn’t shown any aggressive behavior. A great addition for beginners.

Perfect for a small tank. It’s active but not aggressive, and it’s been thriving for over six months. The fish looks vibrant and stays healthy with regular water changes.
