Emily Cameron –
Easy to set up and very active in a 24-gallon tank. It’s not overly aggressive and helps clean the reef. Grew to about 2.3 inches after three months. Good for beginners.
Boris Hemmings –
Fits well in my reef tank. It’s active and helps with algae control. A bit territorial with smaller fish, so I added a few larger fish to avoid conflicts.
Alan Payne –
Purchased for my new tank. It’s healthy and shows good coloration. The size is as described, and it’s compatible with corals and other fish.
