Joan James –
This wrasse has been in my 55-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active and peaceful, doesn’t eat corals, and blends well with the community. Easy to spot due to its bright stripes. Feeds well on small crustaceans and algae.
Sarah Young –
A good addition to a mid-sized reef. It’s not aggressive and stays in the middle of the tank. I’ve noticed it helps with cleaning the substrate. Needs a stable environment and regular feeding.
Amy Payne –
Perfect for intermediate reef keepers. It’s vibrant and active without causing stress to other fish. The size is manageable and it adapts well to the tank conditions after a few weeks.
