Easy to care for and adds vibrant color to my 50-gallon reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive and has been thriving for over six months. Perfect for beginners.

Loved the small size and peaceful behavior. It’s a great addition to a mixed reef setup. Just make sure the tank is at least 50 gallons.

Very active and colorful. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still growing steadily. No issues with corals or other fish. Highly recommend.
