I’ve had my Richmond’s Wrasse for three months now and it’s been very active and healthy. It doesn’t bother the corals and has adapted well to the 50-gallon tank. The fish is semi-aggressive but not overly so, and it’s a great addition to a reef setup. Feeding is easy with a mix of frozen and pellet food.

The wrasse arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe and doesn’t damage the live rock. It’s not the most colorful, but it’s active and curious. I do need to monitor its behavior around other fish, as it can be slightly territorial.

This wrasse has been a joy to watch. It’s active, clean, and doesn’t seem to stress the other inhabitants. I followed the care guidelines and kept the tank at 50 gallons with proper lighting and flow. It’s a solid choice for intermediate reef keepers.
