Sean McDonald –
Easy to set up and has adapted well in my 30-gallon tank. It’s active but not overly aggressive and helps clean the reef by eating algae. Perfect for a beginner reef keeper.
Max Avery –
Arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank. I appreciate the clear care instructions. It’s not the most colorful, but it’s reliable and good for algae control.
Jasmine Russell –
Great addition to my reef tank. The fish is active and helps maintain cleanliness. I didn’t expect it to be this easy to care for as a beginner.
