I’ve kept this dragonet for six months in a 75-gallon tank with live rock and corals. It’s very active and blends well with the reef. Feeding is a bit tricky, but once established, it’s a beautiful addition to the tank.

The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in my reef setup. I had to adjust water parameters slightly, but it’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other inhabitants.
