I’ve kept this wrasse in a 55-gallon reef tank for over a year. It’s very active and peaceful, doesn’t bother other fish. Only issue is it needs stable water parameters and regular monitoring. Great addition to a well-maintained reef setup.

The wrasse looks stunning in the tank. It’s calm and doesn’t show aggression. I had to adjust my water chemistry slightly to match its needs. Definitely not for new aquarists, but worth it for experienced reef keepers.

After researching several wrasse species, this one fits perfectly in my 60-gallon tank. It’s active but not territorial. I’ve noticed it spends time near the coral crevices, which is a nice behavior.
