The fish arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s vibrant with the yellow and blue highlights. I kept it in a 35-gallon tank with some rockwork and it’s been active and healthy since setup. Easy to care for and adds a lot of color to the tank.

Great addition to my marine tank. The fish is active and shows off its colors well. I feed it a mix of meaty and flaked foods daily. It’s not aggressive with other fish, though it does become territorial as it grows.

Perfect for a beginner. The water conditions in my tank were not perfect at first, but the fish adapted well. It’s a striking fish and has become a centerpiece in my tank.
