The fish arrived healthy and was active right away. It’s colorful and stays in its corner of the tank without bothering other fish. I appreciate the clear info on diet and tank size. Easy to care for once the setup is complete.

It’s a nice addition to my 35-gallon reef tank. I made sure to add plenty of rock crevices, and it’s settled in well. Feeds well on a mix of meaty and flaked foods. A bit territorial, but manageable with proper setup.

The fish looks vibrant and stays calm in its space. I didn’t expect it to be so active in the corner, but it’s not aggressive. Great for a small reef tank with proper hiding spots.
