Neil Brown –
Bought this wrasse for my 55-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and has adapted well to the environment. I noticed it’s not aggressive and doesn’t eat small corals. Good for beginners looking for a calm, colorful fish.

The fish arrived healthy and stayed active in my tank. I’m cautious about its interactions with small polyps, but overall it’s a stable addition. Works well with other peaceful fish.
Sue Lewis –
Easy to care for and very calm. It’s been in my tank for three months and shows no signs of stress. The size is larger than expected, and it’s a beautiful addition to the display.
