Nicola Clark –
The yellow pink warty angler arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 75-gallon tank. I placed it in a corner away from corals, and it hasn’t shown aggressive behavior. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a colorful, interesting addition.
Donna Dickens –
It’s a striking fish with vibrant colors. I’ve kept it for three months now and it’s still active. I did notice it occasionally brushed against a soft coral, so I’ve moved it further back. Overall, a satisfying addition to the tank.
Sarah Walsh –
The fish looks exactly as described. It’s calm in its environment and doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants. I appreciate the clear care notes included. A great choice for someone with intermediate experience.
