The Red-Lined Wrasse has been thriving in my 55-gallon reef tank for three months. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. Easy to care for, and the coloration is vibrant. Great addition to a beginner’s setup.

I bought this wrasse for my new tank and it’s doing well. It’s active but not aggressive. I noticed it occasionally nips at small polyps, so I’ve added more robust invertebrates to protect them.

Perfect for a beginner reef tank. The fish is calm and stays near the back wall. It eats well and doesn’t require much attention. I’m happy with the purchase and the size matches the description.
