Evan Langdon –
Easy to set up and maintains good coloration. I kept it in a 30-gallon tank with some soft corals. It’s active but not overly aggressive. Good for beginners who want a colorful fish without too much stress.
Trevor Jackson –
The rust color is vibrant and it stays active. I noticed it occasionally nips at smaller polyps, so I added more space and hiding spots. Works well in a balanced reef setup.

Perfect for a beginner reef. It’s calm most of the time and grows steadily. I’ve had it for six months and it’s still healthy and colorful.
