Molly Oliver –
Easy to care for and adds vibrant color to the tank. Works well with other reef fish and doesn’t cause much stress to tank mates. Grew to 2.5 inches in 6 months and stays active throughout the day.
Connor Cameron –
Great beginner fish for a reef setup. It’s colorful and active, but I did need to keep it in a 24-gallon tank with some hiding spots to reduce stress.
Anthony Peake –
Perfect for a small reef tank. It’s peaceful most of the time and doesn’t eat corals. Only shows slight aggression when feeding, which is manageable.
