Emma Skinner –
Bought this anthias for my 75-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s active and healthy. Very peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. Only thing is it needs stable water conditions and a good diet. Great addition to a mature reef setup.
Lauren Robertson –
The fish arrived healthy and has settled well. It’s a beautiful color and stays calm. I’ve had a few other anthias before, and this one is more vibrant. Needs a bit of time to adjust, but once settled, it’s a great fit.
