This filefish has been a great addition to my 30-gallon tank. It’s active and peaceful, and it helps control aiptasia anemones. The color is a nice green-tan blend. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in the current water conditions.

The fish arrived healthy and matches the description. It’s not aggressive and enjoys the algae in the tank. I noticed it’s a bit shy at first but has become more confident over time. Water parameters are stable and it seems happy.

I bought this to help manage aiptasia growth. It’s been effective and doesn’t stress other tank mates. The size is small, but it’s active and keeps the tank interesting. Easy to care for and fits well in a moderate setup.
