This wrasse has been in my 60-gallon reef tank for six months and is very active without showing aggression. It helps clean the sand bed and doesn’t bother the corals. Easy to care for once the tank is stable.

I added this wrasse to my tank after some research. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. The only thing is it takes a few weeks to settle in, which is normal for intermediate care fish.

Great addition to a reef setup. It’s peaceful, helps with algae control, and looks vibrant. I’m happy with the size and behavior after a few months.
