I’ve had this fish for three months in a 60-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and stays near the back wall. I noticed it occasionally nips at small anemones, so I’ve moved them farther away. Overall, it’s a good addition to a moderately maintained reef setup.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t eat much. I keep an eye on it near coral, and it hasn’t damaged anything yet. A bit of caution is needed, but it’s manageable.

I added this to my 70-gallon tank with a mix of corals. It’s calm and doesn’t stress other fish. I’ve seen it grazing on algae, which helps with tank balance. Just make sure to keep it away from delicate polyps.
