The fish arrived healthy and active. I’ve kept it in a 75-gallon tank with a few corals, and it’s been mostly peaceful, though it does chase smaller fish occasionally. Needs a strong tank setup and consistent feeding.
Eric Peters –
Great addition to my reef tank. The color is vibrant and it’s adapted well to the environment. I monitor its behavior closely and avoid keeping it with small invertebrates.
Sean Paige –
It’s aggressive and not suited for a small tank. I had to move it to a larger setup after a few weeks. Still, it’s a striking fish and adds visual appeal.
