Easy to set up and very peaceful. I kept it in a 75-gallon tank with live rock and it adapted well. The fish stays near the bottom and doesn’t bother other tank mates. Water parameters stayed stable after a few weeks.

Grew quickly in my 70-gallon tank. I provided plenty of hiding spots and it stayed calm. The water conditions were within the recommended range and the fish looks vibrant.

Perfect for a beginner reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and healthy.
