Anne Marshall –
Bought this parrotfish for my 180-gallon reef tank. It has been thriving for six months. Very peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. The size is within the XL range as described. Good choice for an expert reef keeper.

Arrived healthy and fits well in my tank. It’s active but calm. I appreciate the clear size information. Would recommend to experienced aquarists only.

Perfect addition to my reef setup. No issues with compatibility or aggression. Grew steadily to about 4.5 inches in a few months. Very satisfied with the purchase.
