Bought this juvenile wrasse for my 100-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does chase smaller fish. I’ve had to keep it in a well-structured tank with plenty of hiding spots. Still, it’s a striking addition to the display.

The fish arrived healthy and vibrant. After a few weeks, it’s grown into a bold, active fish. I’m cautious about tankmates, but it’s not damaging the coral. A great choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Sean Slater –
It’s aggressive and not suited for a small community tank. I had to remove a smaller fish after a few days. Works best in a large tank with strong structure and no shy species.
