Added a Marconi Skunk Tilefish to my 55-gallon reef tank. It has been calm and active since arrival. No aggression observed, and it blends well with the other fish. Only suitable for expert keepers due to the care requirements.
Matt Young –
This fish is peaceful and fits well in a mature reef setup. I had to ensure the tank was at least 50 gallons, which I already had. It’s not a beginner-friendly species, but it’s a great addition for experienced aquarists.
