Bought this wrasse for a 75-gallon reef tank. It has been active and calm since arrival. The coloration is vibrant and it blends well with the coral. Only needed to adjust water parameters slightly after setup. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in our tank. We monitor water parameters closely due to its expert care needs. It doesn’t show aggression and is a good addition to the reef community.

After a few weeks, the wrasse has become a regular part of the tank. It eats appropriately and doesn’t disturb other fish. We maintain stable water conditions and it’s been very stable since introduction.
