This fish has been in my 80-gallon tank for three months and is very active and peaceful. It doesn’t bother the corals and blends well with the reef environment. Easy to care for once the tank is stable.
Owen Russell –
I added this to my tank after researching compatible species. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. The size is small, which makes it ideal for a medium-sized reef setup.
Lucas Churchill –
Great addition to a reef tank. It’s hardy and stays healthy even with moderate water parameters. I appreciate that it’s peaceful and doesn’t eat live polyps.
