Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 30-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother other fish and stays active without causing stress. Perfect for beginners looking for a calm, colorful addition.
Pippa Allan –
Loved the color and behavior. It’s small and fits well in a reef setup. Just make sure the tank is at least 24 gallons to give it room to grow.
