Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 70-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother the corals and looks great with the live rock. A great addition for a beginner reef setup.
Katherine Bell –
Arrived healthy and active. The fish has adapted well to the tank after a week. No aggression and stays near the back wall where it’s safe from other fish.
Christian Taylor –
Perfect for a small reef tank. It’s colorful, calm, and doesn’t eat anything. I’m happy with the size and behavior after a month.
