I bought this wrasse for my 150-gallon reef tank. It has been thriving for three months. The fish is active and doesn’t seem to attack other tank mates. It’s a good fit for a beginner reef setup.

The wrasse arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s semi-aggressive but doesn’t cause issues with the coral or other fish. I appreciate the clear size range provided in the description.
