I’ve had this wrasse in my 50-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but peaceful, doesn’t eat corals, and blends well with the community. Easy to spot due to its bright stripes. Feeds well on small crustaceans and plankton.

The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank. It’s not aggressive and stays near the lower levels. I appreciate its coloration and the fact it doesn’t disturb the reef structure.

Great addition to my reef setup. It’s active during the day and shows natural behavior. I’ve noticed it avoids touching coral polyps, which is a relief for reef keepers.
