The wrasse arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 40-gallon reef tank. It doesn’t damage corals and shows interesting feeding behavior. Only needs occasional cleaning of its gill area.

We’ve had this wrasse for three months. It’s active and colorful, and it helps control small algae. We noticed it occasionally nips at smaller invertebrates, so we added more hiding spots.

Great addition to our tank. It’s vibrant and stays calm around other fish. The size is within the recommended range, and it’s easy to spot in the tank.
