Received the Naoko’s Fairy Wrasse in good condition. It’s small and vibrant, fits well in my 50-gallon reef tank. Easy to care for and hasn’t shown any aggression. A great addition to a beginner’s setup.

Perfect for a small reef tank. The fish is peaceful and doesn’t cause any issues with the coral. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving.
