I added the Green Damsel to my 50-gallon tank and it has been active and healthy since arrival. The fish is colorful and stays near the back wall. I noticed it’s quite aggressive toward smaller fish, so I made sure to keep it with larger, calm species. Overall, it fits well in my reef setup.

The fish arrived quickly and looks vibrant. It’s not shy and moves around a lot. I’ve observed it chasing smaller fish, so I’ve adjusted my tank layout to give it space. It’s a good fit for a beginner reef tank with proper size and hiding spots.

It’s active and visible in the tank. I expected more aggression, but it’s not overly aggressive. Still, I recommend pairing it with larger fish to avoid stress. The tank size is a must, and I’m happy with the color and activity level.
