The fish arrived healthy and quickly settled into the tank. Its bright yellow color stands out well in the aquarium. I feed it Nori and Mysis regularly, and it’s active and curious. Needs a stable environment, but worth the effort.
Caroline Arnold –
It’s a striking addition to my reef tank. The color is vivid and it swims actively. I’ve noticed it occasionally nips at smaller invertebrates, so I’ve added more hiding spots. Feeding is straightforward with a mix of pellets and frozen food.
Jason Piper –
Great color and lively behavior. The tank size requirement is clear, and I’ve maintained a 55-gallon system. It adapts well to the diet and stays calm when not feeding. A beautiful choice for a colorful angelfish.
