Carol Smith –
After months of research, this fish finally fits our 150-gallon reef tank. It’s active and doesn’t dominate the group. We monitor water parameters closely and maintain a stable environment. The size is impressive, and it’s a good addition to a mature reef setup.
Cameron Powell –
We added this to our expert-level tank with proper spacing. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly territorial. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality meaty foods. Needs a large tank, but it’s worth the effort.
Theresa Sutherland –
The fish arrived healthy and seems to adapt well. We’re still adjusting to its behavior, as it does occasionally chase smaller fish. Not for beginners, but a solid choice for experienced reef keepers.
