Simon Simpson –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 50-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother other fish and blends well with the reef setup. A great addition for beginners.

Arrived healthy and has been active since setup. Stays calm and doesn’t eat corals. Perfect for a small reef tank with other peaceful fish.

I’ve had this wrasse for three months now and it’s thriving. It’s small but vibrant and doesn’t cause any issues in the tank. Highly recommend for new reef keepers.
