Christopher Lee –
The Orange Fin Wrasse has been a great addition to our 55-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. It’s active but not aggressive. We’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving.
Carol Wilson –
This wrasse is easy to care for and stays calm around other fish. It’s a good fit for intermediate reef keepers. The fish is vibrant and active, though it does need a stable environment.
Jonathan Duncan –
We added this wrasse to our tank after researching compatible species. It’s been very calm and doesn’t show signs of stress. The coloration is bright and it’s a nice focal point in the tank.
