I added the Yellowback Comet Wrasse to my 50-gallon reef tank last month. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with the corals. The fish is healthy and shows good coloration. Easy to maintain with proper water parameters.

This wrasse has been in my tank for three months. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the other fish or corals. I appreciate the intermediate care level—it’s not too hard to manage.
