The fish is vibrant with a beautiful powder blue and gold rim pattern. It has adapted well in a 75-gallon reef tank. It’s semi-aggressive but manageable with proper tank mates. Feeding is straightforward and it stays active throughout the day.
Joshua MacDonald –
Great coloration and active behavior. I noticed it patrols the edges and defends its space. Needs a spacious tank and stable water conditions. Works well with other tangs and corals.

Installed this fish in a 75-gallon tank with good results. It’s visually striking and maintains good health. The gold rim stands out in the tank lighting. No issues with coral compatibility so far.
