I added a Pearly Jawfish to my 30-gallon reef tank and it has been very calm and active. It doesn’t bother the corals and seems to enjoy the environment. Easy to spot and maintain. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well in my tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description. Would recommend to others with similar tank setups.

After a few weeks, the jawfish is active during the day and hides in crevices at night. It’s a beautiful addition to the tank. The care level matches what was described, and it’s a great fit for a 24-gallon setup.
