Ruth Hunter –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s active and adds a nice visual element without being aggressive. Perfect for beginners looking to add a colorful, calm fish.

Arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s small and fits well in the tank. I appreciate that it doesn’t bother other fish or corals.

Great addition to my marine setup. The fish is active, stays in one area, and doesn’t stress the tank inhabitants. Very satisfied with the purchase.
