This tamarin wrasse is a striking addition to my 50-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and has adapted well to the environment. I’ve had to monitor it closely around soft corals, but overall it’s a beautiful and unique species.

Arrived healthy and active. The fish has been calm and doesn’t show aggression. I’m cautious with coral placement, but it’s a great choice for an expert reef setup.

Highly recommended for experienced reef keepers. The yellowtail coloration is vivid and it blends well with the tank’s natural look. It’s not aggressive and stays in its designated area.
