The fish is vibrant and active in my 60-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. The black spots stand out well in the water. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving.

Great addition to my intermediate reef setup. It’s calm and stays near the back wall. I noticed it’s a bit shy at first but settles in after a week. Feeding is easy with flakes and frozen foods.
Abigail Johnston –
Very satisfied with the quality and appearance. The size is as described, and it looks natural in the tank. No aggression, just a beautiful, quiet fish.
