I’ve kept this boxfish for over a year in a 120-gallon tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals, though I do watch it closely. The size has grown steadily and it’s become a calm centerpiece in the tank.
Maria Robertson –
The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. I’m cautious about placing it near delicate anemones, but it’s not aggressive and stays in one area.
Tracey White –
Great addition to a mature reef setup. It’s quiet, doesn’t eat corals, and looks very natural in the environment. Only recommend for expert aquarists with large tanks.
