Brandon Short –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 50-gallon reef tank. It doesn’t stress the corals and stays active without being aggressive. A great addition for a beginner.
Nicholas Knox –
The fish has adapted well to the tank after a few weeks. It’s small and doesn’t take up much space. I appreciate that it’s not territorial and coexists well with other fish.
Jennifer Gibson –
Perfect for a small reef setup. It’s colorful and active, and it hasn’t shown any signs of aggression. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others.
