I’ve kept this fish in a 75-gallon reef tank for over a year. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. Only thing is it needs stable water parameters and a well-maintained system. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active in the tank. It’s not aggressive and blends well with the reef community. I do have to monitor water chemistry closely, which is expected for expert-level species.

After researching several tilefish species, this one stood out for its peaceful nature. It’s a good addition to a mature reef tank with proper conditions. No issues so far.
