I’ve had my Acanthurus mata for six months now and it’s thriving in a 150-gallon tank. It’s active and doesn’t seem to bother other fish. The tank needs regular maintenance, but it’s a great addition to a reef setup.

The fish is semi-aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with larger, calm species. It’s grown to about 18 inches and is very colorful. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided.

This fish has adapted well to my tank. I monitor water parameters closely, and it’s been eating well and showing no signs of stress. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
