Sally Hemmings –
Bought a juvenile Chiseltooth Wrasse for my 40-gallon reef tank. It has been active and peaceful since arrival. No aggression toward other fish or corals. Grows steadily and seems healthy after two months.
Charles Langdon –
The fish arrived in good condition and has adapted well to the tank. It’s not overly active but stays in the middle zone. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe and doesn’t eat coral.

Perfect addition to my intermediate reef setup. The fish is calm and has not shown any signs of stress. Tank size is adequate and water parameters remain stable.
