This wrasse has been in my 55-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s very active and peaceful, doesn’t bother other fish. Only issue is it needs a large tank and stable water conditions. Great addition to a well-maintained reef setup.
Dorothy Walsh –
I’ve kept this wrasse for three months. It’s colorful and active, but I had to adjust feeding and water parameters to keep it healthy. Works well with corals and other fish in a mature reef system.
Austin Rees –
The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s a striking addition to the display. I monitor water parameters closely, as it’s an expert-level species. No aggression observed.
