Bought this angelfish for my 40-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does nip at small polyps occasionally. I’ve added more hiding spots and it’s been mostly peaceful since. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a bit of movement and color.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. It’s not overly aggressive, but it does chase smaller fish occasionally. I keep it in a 35-gallon tank with plenty of live rock and it’s settled in well.

It’s a nice addition to the tank, but I noticed it’s more active during the day and tends to hover near the surface. I’m still adjusting the tank layout to reduce stress on other inhabitants.
