The butterflyfish is active and colorful. I’ve kept it in a 55-gallon tank with some soft corals. It doesn’t damage them, but I watch closely. Feeding is easy with frozen foods. Good for intermediate reef keepers.
Theresa Grant –
Arrived healthy and vibrant. The fish is peaceful and stays near the back wall. I noticed it occasionally nips at small polyps, so I’ve added more hiding spots. Overall, a solid addition to my tank.
James Miller –
Great color and behavior. I’ve had it for three months now and it’s still active. The size is within the expected range. I recommend it for those with intermediate experience and a stable reef setup.
