Added the Blueface Tilefish to my 55-gallon reef tank last month. It’s peaceful and blends well with the other inhabitants. The fish has grown steadily and shows no signs of aggression. Easy to maintain with regular water changes.

This fish is a good fit for intermediate reef keepers. It’s active but not overly demanding. I’ve noticed it’s curious and enjoys exploring the tank walls. Feeding is straightforward with a mix of frozen and flake food.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s not aggressive and coexists peacefully with clownfish and soft corals. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided.
