The goatfish arrived exactly as pictured. It’s active and curious, constantly exploring the substrate. I’ve kept it in a 50-gallon tank with corals, and it hasn’t damaged any of them. A great addition to a mature reef setup.

It’s a beautiful fish with a unique pattern. I noticed it digs into the sand and probes crevices, which is very natural. It’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. Just make sure the tank is mature and stable.
