I’ve had this wrasse for six months in a 55-gallon reef tank. It’s active but peaceful, and it doesn’t eat coral. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a striking addition to the tank. Only recommend for experienced aquarists.

The fish arrived healthy and has been adjusting well. It’s very active and shows interest in feeding. I’m happy with the color and behavior, though it requires careful monitoring of tank conditions.
