Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 50-gallon tank. It doesn’t stress other fish and blends well with the coral. A great addition for a beginner reef setup.

Arrived healthy and has been active in the tank for a month. It’s small but vibrant and doesn’t show signs of aggression. Perfect for a calm reef environment.

I’m new to reef keeping and this fish has been a joy to have. It stays in one area and doesn’t chase other fish. Very easy to maintain.
