Easy to set up and maintain. My 50-gallon tank has been stable with this fish for over six months. It’s active but not overly aggressive. Good for beginners who want a colorful, engaging fish.

The fish looks beautiful and fits well in my reef setup. I did have to monitor its behavior around smaller corals, but overall it’s a solid addition to the tank.
