Benjamin Anderson –
The Adorned Wrasse has been a great addition to our 50-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and actively helps clean the tank by eating algae. We’ve had it for six months and it’s thriving. Only recommend for experienced aquarists due to the care requirements.
Cameron Edmunds –
We added this wrasse to our reef system after researching thoroughly. It’s active and doesn’t stress other fish. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a nice visual addition. Needs a large tank and stable water conditions.
Warren Howard –
The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. We’re still monitoring its behavior as it’s a new species. It’s not aggressive, but we expect it to take time to settle into the tank.
