This fish has been in my 80-gallon tank for three months and is very active. It doesn’t bother the corals and swims well among the rockwork. Easy to maintain once the tank is cycled.

I added this fish after setting up my reef system. It’s peaceful and blends well with the other inhabitants. I appreciate that it’s not aggressive and doesn’t require frequent feeding.

The fish has adapted well to the tank environment. I’ve noticed it’s curious and explores the tank regularly. It’s a good addition to a mid-sized reef setup.
