Easy to care for and very active in the tank. It doesn’t stress other fish and stays calm around corals. Perfect for a beginner reef keeper. Looks vibrant and adds color to the display.
Thomas Underwood –
Arrived quickly and the fish was healthy. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. Fits well in a 24-gallon tank with live rock and small invertebrates.
Felicity McLean –
Great addition to my reef tank. The color is striking and it’s very docile. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and healthy.
