I’ve kept this fish for six months in a 120-gallon tank. It’s very peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. The coloration is vibrant and it’s active during the day. Only issue is it needs a large tank and stable water conditions.

Great fish for a reef setup. It’s calm and doesn’t eat algae or small invertebrates. I had to monitor water parameters closely, but overall it’s a good addition to my tank.

The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in my 100-gallon tank. It swims gracefully and stays near the middle of the tank. I appreciate the clear size information provided.
