Bought this wrasse for my 75-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful. I had to be cautious with tank mates, but it’s not aggressive toward the corals. Feeding is easy and it eats regularly. Good for a beginner with proper setup.

The wrasse arrived healthy and has been active since setup. I noticed it’s more territorial, so I removed a small shrimp. It’s not damaging the reef, just needs space. Overall, a solid choice for a reef tank.

It’s aggressive and I had to keep it in a larger tank. The coral growth is fine, but I lost a small anemone. Not ideal for small tanks. Still, it’s a vibrant addition to the display.
