Easy to care for and very peaceful. I’ve had it in my 50-gallon tank for six months and it’s thriving. Doesn’t eat much and doesn’t bother other fish. A great addition to a beginner reef tank.
Stewart Walsh –
The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s small and doesn’t take up much space. I appreciate that it’s peaceful and doesn’t stress the other inhabitants.
Austin Vaughan –
Perfect for a small reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive. I didn’t have to worry about feeding or water parameters. Very satisfied with the purchase.
