Bought this for my 60-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and has adapted well after a few weeks. I keep an eye on it for any signs of eating small corals, but so far it’s been fine. Good choice for experienced aquarists.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active in the tank. I’m cautious about its behavior around polyps, but it hasn’t shown aggression. Needs a large tank and expert care, which I have.

After a month, it’s settled in well. The tank is 55 gallons, and it’s not causing any issues with the reef. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description.
