Received the purple eyebrow tuskfish and it’s a striking addition to my 80-gallon reef tank. The coloration is vivid and stands out among the other fish. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so, and has adapted well to the tank after a few weeks. I keep an eye on it around soft corals, but no issues so far.

The fish arrived healthy and looks exactly as described. The purple eyebrow pattern is very distinct. It’s not the most peaceful fish, but it’s manageable in a larger tank with good hiding spots. I’ve noticed it occasionally nips at a soft polyp, so I’ve moved it slightly away from that area.

This is one of the rarest tuskfish I’ve seen. The Sumatra strong color is vibrant and eye-catching. It’s active but not destructive. After a month, it’s established a routine and seems content in the tank. Great for reef enthusiasts who want a unique species.
