Joe Springer –
I’ve kept this dragonet in a 75-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s very peaceful and blends well with the coral. The fish is active during the day and stays in the lower areas. Only requires regular water testing and a stable environment. Highly recommended for experienced reef keepers.

The dragonet arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank. It doesn’t eat much but is curious and active. I’ve had to adjust the water parameters slightly, which shows it’s a sensitive species. Overall, a beautiful addition to a reef setup.
