I’ve had my Babi Leopard Wrasse for six months now. It’s very peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. The fish is active but not aggressive. Only recommended for experienced reef keepers due to the care level. It’s a beautiful addition to a well-maintained tank.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to my 55-gallon tank. It’s not overly active, which is good for a reef setup. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description. Would recommend to others with similar experience levels.

This wrasse has been a highlight in my tank. It’s calm, doesn’t eat coral polyps, and looks great. I’m an expert-level aquarist, and this species fits perfectly in my reef environment. The size is within expectations and it’s easy to monitor.
