The fish is active and peaceful in a 150-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother the corals, though I keep an eye on it. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a colorful, non-aggressive species.

Arrived healthy and has adapted well in my tank. I’m happy with the coloration and behavior. Just make sure the tank has plenty of space and stable water conditions.

This goatfish has been a great addition to my reef setup. It swims gracefully and doesn’t show signs of aggression. The size is impressive, and it’s a nice visual focal point.
