Nathan Clarkson –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 50-gallon tank. It has grown steadily since I added it six months ago and hasn’t shown any aggressive behavior. Perfect for a beginner reef setup.
Dominic Russell –
The fish looks beautiful and stays calm around other tank inhabitants. I was worried about compatibility, but it’s been thriving without any issues.

Added this to my reef tank after researching compatible species. It’s active but not aggressive, and it’s been a great addition to the community.
