Rachel Hodges –
Easy to care for and fits well in my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s active but not overly aggressive and doesn’t bother the corals. A good addition for a beginner reef setup.

I’ve had this fish for a few months now and it’s been healthy and calm. It doesn’t eat much and stays in one area, which makes it easy to monitor.

Perfect for a small reef tank. The fish is colorful and active without being too aggressive. I appreciate that it’s beginner-friendly and doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants.
