The wrasse has been very active and peaceful in my 55-gallon reef tank. It doesn’t bother the corals and has adapted well to the environment. Easy to care for once the tank is stable.

It’s a nice addition to the tank. The fish is calm and doesn’t show aggression. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe and fits well with my existing inhabitants.

After a few weeks, it’s established itself in the tank and is now part of the community. The care instructions were clear and the fish is healthy and active.
