Ava Jackson –
This wrasse has been in my 55-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s very peaceful and doesn’t show aggression toward other fish. The coloration is vibrant and it’s active during the day. Only recommend for experienced reef keepers with stable water conditions.
Ella Hudson –
I bought this wrasse after researching hardy reef species. It’s not aggressive and has adapted well to the tank. I do need to monitor water parameters closely, which is a challenge for new hobbyists.
