After months of research, this fish finally fits our 150-gallon reef tank. It’s active and doesn’t dominate the tank. We’ve added compatible species and it’s coexisting well. Only recommend for experienced aquarists.
Jacob Gray –
The fish arrived healthy and seems to adapt well. We monitor its behavior closely. It’s not the most colorful, but it’s a solid addition to our reef setup.
Joan Quinn –
We’re still adjusting to its semi-aggressive nature. It guards its space and may chase smaller fish. Needs a large tank with good hiding spots.
