Bought this wrasse for my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, and has adapted well to the environment. I noticed it occasionally nips at smaller invertebrates, so I added more rock cover. Overall, a good addition to a beginner-friendly reef setup.
Victoria Robertson –
The wrasse arrived healthy and looks vibrant. It’s not overly aggressive, and it’s been eating well. I keep a close eye on it to avoid any conflicts with other fish. Works well in a 24-gallon tank with proper hiding places.

Great choice for a reef tank. The fish is active and adds visual interest. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still thriving. Just make sure the tank is large enough and has plenty of structure to reduce stress.
