Jake Hemmings –
Received the female Mauritius Jewel Leopard Wrasse in excellent condition. She has been thriving in a 55-gallon reef tank for three months. Very active and calm, doesn’t show aggression toward other fish. Only recommended for expert aquarists due to specific care needs.
Vanessa Bailey –
The wrasse is beautiful and quite colorful. She’s adapted well to the tank after a few weeks. I’m happy with the purchase, though the tank size is a bit larger than expected.
Kylie James –
This is a rare species and the quality of the fish was impressive. She’s been peaceful and active in a 50-gallon tank. I’ve noticed she enjoys the coral structures and is not overly territorial.
