Received the black leopard wrasse in good condition. It’s active and peaceful in a 50-gallon tank with corals. Very satisfied with the species and packaging. Only needed expert-level care as advised.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It doesn’t eat much but is active and doesn’t stress the reef community. Would recommend to experienced aquarists only.
Gordon Hill –
Great addition to a reef tank. The fish is calm and doesn’t show aggression. It’s been two months now and still thriving. Highly recommend for reef setups with proper tank size.
