The wrasse has been very active and colorful in my 75-gallon tank. It shows interest in cleaning algae and doesn’t harm the corals. I appreciate the vibrant appearance and its semi-aggressive nature, which is manageable with proper tank setup.

It’s a striking addition to my reef tank. The fish is active and helps with algae control. I’ve noticed it occasionally nipping at smaller invertebrates, so I’ve added more hiding spots to reduce stress.
Maria Sharp –
Great color and behavior. After a few weeks, it started cleaning the tank surfaces and interacting with other fish without causing issues. The size is manageable and it fits well in the tank environment.
