Simon Watson –
The fish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to the 80-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. The care level matches what was described. I’m happy with the purchase.
Richard Knox –
It’s a beautiful fish and fits well in the reef environment. I noticed it’s active but not aggressive. Needs a stable water condition, which I’ve maintained. Slightly larger than expected in the first few weeks.
Lauren Lee –
Easy to care for once the tank is set up. It’s peaceful and doesn’t eat any of the corals. The size grows steadily to about 10 inches. Very satisfied with the product.
