Bought this wrasse for my 60-gallon reef tank. It has been active and peaceful since arrival. No aggression toward other fish. Shows good coloration and stays in the middle zone. Easy to observe and maintain. Would recommend for intermediate reef keepers.

The wrasse arrived healthy and has adapted well in my 55-gallon tank. It doesn’t eat much but is active during the day. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description. A solid addition to a balanced reef system.
