Received the fish in good condition. It’s quite active and has a unique appearance. The color was a mix of green and orange, which I liked. I’ve been keeping it in a 50-gallon tank with corals, and it hasn’t caused any issues so far. Just make sure to provide hiding spots due to its aggressive nature.

The fish arrived quickly and looked healthy. It’s a bit aggressive, so I added some rock structures for it to hide in. The color was mostly green with some brown spots. It’s active during the day and seems to be adjusting well to the tank.

It’s a striking fish with a bold look. I expected it to be more aggressive, and it is. I’ve placed it in a well-established tank with plenty of cover. It hasn’t damaged any corals yet, but I’ll keep an eye on it.
