Carol Martin –
Bought this wrasse for my 55-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s active but not aggressive. The fish blends well with the corals and seems healthy. Easy to spot in the tank due to its bright yellow and black markings. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided.

The wrasse arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I’ve noticed it spends time near the back wall, which is good for tank balance. A solid choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Alison Gray –
This fish has adapted well to our tank. It’s not overly active but still shows curiosity. The size is within the expected range, and it hasn’t caused any issues with the coral. Very satisfied with the purchase.
