Easy to care for and very peaceful. I’ve kept it with my coral setup for six months and it hasn’t caused any issues. It’s active but not aggressive, and it adds a nice color to the tank.

Perfect for beginners. The fish is calm and doesn’t bother the corals. I was a bit worried at first, but it adapted well to the tank after a week.
Vanessa Fraser –
Great addition to a reef tank. It’s colorful and stays active without being too demanding. The size is manageable and it doesn’t eat anything I have.
