Added this fish to my 55-gallon reef tank after researching compatibility. It’s calm and blends well with the coral. Only kept it because of the peaceful nature and low aggression. Needs expert care, but it’s a good addition to a mature reef setup.

Grew to about 5 inches and stays active without causing any issues. The fish is quiet and doesn’t disturb the tank’s balance. I’ve had it for six months and it’s still healthy.

Perfect for experienced aquarists. It’s not flashy, but it’s a reliable and peaceful inhabitant. I appreciate that it doesn’t eat coral or compete with other fish.
