Melanie Bond –
Bought this wrasse for my 80-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful. I had to be careful with smaller corals, but it’s not aggressive toward fish. Feeding is easy with frozen foods. Grew to 5.5 inches in six months.
Piers Edmunds –
Aggressive as described. I kept it with a few larger fish and it didn’t attack them. Needs a big tank and stable water conditions. Good for experienced beginners who understand its behavior.
Alison James –
Installed in a 75-gallon tank with good results. It’s a striking addition to the reef. I monitor it closely to avoid damaging soft corals. Feeding is simple and it stays active throughout the day.
