I’ve kept this fish for six months in a 55-gallon tank. It’s very calm and doesn’t bother other fish. The color is vibrant and it’s a great addition to my reef setup. Easy to maintain with regular water changes.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase smaller fish. I appreciate the clear size indication—perfect for my larger tank.

This tilefish has become a centerpiece in my aquarium. It’s not aggressive and blends well with corals. I’m happy with the size and appearance. Would recommend to reef keepers.
