The fish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 55-gallon tank. We’ve added corals and it hasn’t shown any aggression. A great choice for intermediate reef keepers.

We’ve had this fish for three months now. It’s active and colorful. The tank size is sufficient, and it’s peaceful with the other fish. A solid addition to our reef setup.
