Bought this wrasse for my 75-gallon reef tank. It has been active and healthy since arrival. I noticed it’s quite aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with larger, non-susceptible fish. It’s active and helps with cleaning the tank. Good choice for a beginner with proper setup.

The wrasse arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank. I had to monitor its behavior closely due to its aggression, but it’s not causing issues with the coral. It’s a good addition to a reef system with proper space.

It’s a bit aggressive and I had to adjust my tank layout to avoid conflicts. Still, it’s active and helps with algae control. Not the easiest to manage, but works in a well-established tank.
