The fish arrived healthy and looks beautiful in my 150-gallon tank. Its frilly fins stand out among the coral, and it seems to be hiding well in the rockwork. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and calm.
Grace Peters –
A striking addition to my reef. The colors are vivid and it blends well with the environment. I do have to monitor water parameters closely, as it’s an advanced species.
Harry Abraham –
After a few weeks, I noticed it moving gracefully through the crevices. It doesn’t seem aggressive and stays mostly hidden, which is perfect for a low-maintenance display.
