Joseph Hodges –
The Eibli Angelfish has been in my 40-gallon tank for three months. It’s active and colorful, though I’ve had to watch it closely around smaller corals. It’s not aggressive toward other fish, but I keep it separate from small crustaceans. Overall, a good addition to a well-maintained reef setup.
Jack Turner –
I bought this fish for my intermediate reef tank. It’s grown steadily from 1.5″ to 2″ and seems healthy. I’ve noticed it occasionally nips at small polyps, so I’ve added more hiding places. Still, it’s a beautiful and interesting species.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I’m cautious about its behavior around invertebrates. I’ve increased the tank’s lighting and added rock structures to reduce stress. It’s not the most peaceful fish, but it’s a unique addition to the tank.
