Received the female lyretail anthias in good condition. She has been thriving in my 75-gallon reef tank for three months. She’s active and doesn’t seem to bother the corals. The size is within the expected range and she looks healthy.

The fish arrived quickly and was well-packaged. She’s been in my tank for two months and seems to be adjusting well. I’ve noticed she’s more active during the day and stays near the back wall. Not too aggressive, just needs space.

Great quality for the price. The fish is vibrant and active. I’ve kept her with a few other peaceful fish, and she hasn’t shown any signs of aggression. Tank size is sufficient and the care instructions were clear.
