I added a tiny Pintail Fairy Wrasse to my 75-gallon reef tank. It’s very active and peaceful, doesn’t bother the corals. The fish has been thriving for three months and looks healthy. Great choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Sean Hardacre –
The wrasse is small and fits well in my tank. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate size description. Would recommend to others with similar tank setups.

This wrasse has been a joy to have in my reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive, and it’s been eating well. The size is much smaller than expected, which makes it ideal for a smaller reef setup.
