Received the Golden Cleaner Wrasse and it has been very active in the tank. It regularly visits other fish to clean them, which is a great addition to the reef community. Easy to care for and very healthy after a few weeks.
Gordon Gill –
The wrasse is active and seems to get along well with my other fish. It’s a little shy at first but quickly becomes a regular cleaner. The size is as described, and it looks vibrant in the tank.

Great addition to my marine setup. It’s been cleaning other fish for over a month now. The fish is healthy, colorful, and very interactive. I’m happy with the purchase.
