Lily Bower –
Received the female Lyretail Anthias in excellent condition. She has been thriving in a 75-gallon reef tank for three months. The coloration is vibrant and she shows active swimming patterns. Only a few small corals were slightly nudged, but no damage occurred. Very satisfied with the quality and size.
Oliver Powell –
The fish arrived healthy and was already active in the tank. She has adapted well to the 80-gallon setup. I noticed she is slightly more active during feeding times. Good size for a show-grade specimen. Would recommend to intermediate reef keepers.
Christian Terry –
The Tonga Special Grade is clearly visible in the color and body shape. She has grown steadily since arrival and is now reaching 4 inches. The tank is stable and the coral remains intact. A solid addition to a reef aquarium.
