Added a tiny Bali Tiger Jawfish to my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s been active and calm since arrival. No issues with corals or other fish. Great for intermediate keepers looking for a peaceful, reef-safe species.

The fish arrived healthy and stayed active in my tank. It doesn’t eat much but seems to adjust well. I appreciate the clear size specification—perfect for a small tank setup.
