Received the Snow White Stone Fish in good condition. It’s active and healthy, and has adapted well to my 50-gallon tank. I’ve added some corals, and it hasn’t damaged any of them yet. Good for beginners who want a bit of color and movement.
Carl Sanderson –
The fish looks beautiful with its white stone appearance. It’s not overly aggressive, and I’ve noticed it doesn’t chase other fish. I’m happy with the beginner-friendly care level.

It’s a nice addition to the tank. I kept it in a 50-gallon with live rock and a few corals. It seems to coexist, but I’ve seen it nipping at small crustaceans. I’ll keep an eye on it.
