This wrasse has been in my 100-gallon reef tank for six months and remains calm and active. It doesn’t harass other fish and blends well with the community. Only issue is it needs a large tank and stable water conditions.

Great addition to a mature reef setup. It’s peaceful and doesn’t eat corals. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving. Make sure your tank is at least 75 gallons.

It’s a bit shy at first, but settles into the tank after a few weeks. I’m not a beginner, so I’m happy with the behavior. Needs consistent water parameters to stay healthy.
