This fish has been in my 75-gallon reef tank for six months and remains active and healthy. It doesn’t bother the corals and blends well with the community. Easy to spot and maintain.

I added this tilefish to my intermediate reef setup. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. Growth has been steady, and it’s adapted well to the lighting and water conditions.

Perfect for a reef tank with a moderate care level. The fish is peaceful and doesn’t eat any of the soft corals. I appreciate the clear size range provided in the description.
