Easy to care for and very active in the tank. It pairs well with other reef fish and stays calm around coral. Perfect for a small home aquarium.
Edward Mackenzie –
Arrived healthy and quickly adapted to the tank. The color contrast between black and white is striking. Just make sure the tank is at least 20 gallons.
Adam Slater –
Great addition to a beginner reef setup. Not too aggressive and doesn’t stress other fish. Has become a regular sight in the tank.
