Jane Smith –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 50-gallon tank. It has adapted well to the reef environment and doesn’t stress other fish. A great addition for beginners.
Liam Berry –
Grew steadily over several months. Doesn’t eat much and stays calm. Only needs regular water changes as per standard reef care.
Virginia James –
Perfect for a small reef setup. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with other peaceful species. Very happy with the purchase.
