Received the fish in good condition. It’s active and seems healthy in a 55-gallon tank. The tank is well-maintained and the fish has not shown aggression. Only suitable for experienced reef keepers.

The wrasse is vibrant and peaceful. I’ve had it for three months and it’s adapted well. I’m careful with water parameters and feeding schedule. Would not recommend to new aquarists.

Great addition to my reef tank. It doesn’t eat corals or disturb other fish. The fish is active but calm. I monitor water quality closely and maintain stable conditions.
