Easy to care for and very peaceful. It fits well in my 50-gallon reef tank. No aggression and doesn’t bother the corals. A great addition for beginners.

Arrived healthy and active. Stays calm around other fish and doesn’t eat coral. Perfect size for a small reef setup.

I’ve had this wrasse for three months now. It’s vibrant and stays in one area without chasing others. Very satisfied with the purchase.
