I’ve kept this boxfish in a 120-gallon reef tank for over a year. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals, though I’ve had to watch it closely. The size has grown steadily and it’s become a calm addition to the community.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to adapt well to the tank. I’m cautious about its interactions with soft corals, but it hasn’t caused any damage so far. Needs expert care, but it’s a unique and interesting addition.

It’s a beautiful fish, but I noticed it occasionally nips at small polyps. I’ve since rearranged the tank layout to reduce risk. Not for beginners, but worth the effort for reef enthusiasts.
