I added this Skunk Tilefish to my 55-gallon reef tank after researching compatible species. It has been calm and active since arrival. The fish blends well with the coral and doesn’t show aggression. Perfect for an expert reef keeper looking for a peaceful, visually interesting addition.

The fish arrived healthy and was easy to acclimate. It’s small but distinctive with a unique appearance. I’ve kept it in a 50-gallon tank with other reef fish and it hasn’t caused any issues. A good choice for experienced aquarists.
