Joe Poole –
This wrasse has been in my 75-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but peaceful, doesn’t eat corals, and adds visual interest. The coloration is vibrant and stays consistent. Only issue is it needs a well-established tank with plenty of hiding spots.
Samantha Churchill –
I bought this for my expert-level reef setup. It’s calm and doesn’t cause any aggression. It’s been a few months now and still shows good health. I appreciate the clear size and care details provided.
Megan Roberts –
The fish arrived healthy and quickly adapted to the tank. It’s a great addition to a 50-gallon reef. I’ve noticed it forages around the rockwork and doesn’t disturb the coral. Very satisfied with the purchase.
