The clownfish arrived healthy and active. The coloration is vibrant and the white bands are clearly visible. It has adapted well to my tank after a week. I’m happy with the hardiness and ease of care.

Great addition to my reef tank. The fish is very active and stays calm in the community. The band pattern is exactly as described, with broken bands on the sides. Easy to maintain.

The fish looks beautiful and has been thriving in my 20-gallon tank. It’s not aggressive and gets along well with my other fish. A little slower to settle in at first, but now it’s active and healthy.
