Charles Roberts –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 30-gallon tank. It spends most of its time digging in the sand, which adds natural behavior to the tank. No issues with corals or other fish. A great beginner-friendly addition.
John Coleman –
Arrived healthy and active. It’s been two months now and still shows interest in the sand. Doesn’t stress other fish and blends well with the reef setup. Perfect for a small reef tank.
Peter Tucker –
Loves the sand and is active during the day. A bit shy at first but settled in quickly. Works well with my other fish. Would recommend to beginners.
