Nathan Brown –
The fish is active and peaceful in my 80-gallon tank. It has adapted well to the reef environment and doesn’t bother the corals. Easy to maintain with regular feeding and water changes.
Peter Walker –
It’s a beautiful fish that stays calm and doesn’t chase other tank mates. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in the 75-gallon setup.
Anthony Wright –
Great addition to my reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive, and it’s been eating well with a balanced diet of algae wafers and spirulina.
