The fish is vibrant with a beautiful powder blue and gold rim pattern. It’s active and adds visual interest to the tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in a 75-gallon reef tank. Feeding is straightforward and it doesn’t seem to harm the corals.
Anthony Bailey –
Great coloration and active swimming. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. I noticed it occasionally nips at smaller invertebrates, so I added a few larger corals to provide cover. Overall, a good addition to a mid-sized reef setup.

The fish has adapted well to the tank after a few weeks. It’s not aggressive toward other fish and maintains a clean appearance. The color is striking and it’s a joy to watch in the tank.
