I’ve kept this wrasse in a 50-gallon reef tank for over a year. It’s very peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. The coloration is striking, especially in low light. Only recommend for experienced aquarists due to the care requirements.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s active but not aggressive. I’m happy with the reef compatibility and the unique appearance. Needs a stable environment and proper water parameters.

This wrasse has become a highlight in my tank. It’s calm, doesn’t chase other fish, and blends well with the coral. I’ve read the care notes carefully and maintain strict water quality.
