Received the wrasse in good condition. It’s active and shows vibrant coloration. Easy to care for and fits well in my 24-gallon tank. The six lines are clearly visible and it’s been adapting well to the environment.

The fish arrived quickly and looks healthy. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. I’ve noticed it’s curious and interacts with other tank inhabitants without causing issues.
