Madeleine White –
I’ve kept this fish for over a year in a 120-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and stays in the middle of the tank. I had to be careful with corals, but it hasn’t damaged any. Only for expert reef keepers.
Audrey Chapman –
The fish is active and curious. I noticed it avoids touching soft corals. It’s not aggressive, but needs a large tank and stable water conditions.
Richard Arnold –
It’s a unique addition to the tank. I’m cautious about its interactions with other fish. The tank size is a must, and water parameters need to be tightly controlled.
