The Black Back China Wrasse has been thriving in my 55-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but not aggressive and doesn’t bother the corals. Easy to care for once the tank is stable. A great addition to a peaceful reef setup.

I added this wrasse to my tank after researching compatible species. It’s calm and has started to eat algae naturally. I appreciate that it doesn’t damage the reef. Needs a stable environment though.
