Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 75-gallon tank. It doesn’t stress other fish and has adapted well to the environment. A great choice for beginners.

The fish looks beautiful and stays calm even around corals. I was worried about compatibility, but it’s been thriving for three months now.
Matt Gibson –
Perfect for a reef setup. It’s active but not aggressive and has not shown any signs of bullying other fish. Highly recommend for new reef keepers.
