I bought this fish for my 50-gallon tank and it has been thriving. It’s active but not overly aggressive. I’ve kept it with a few hardy corals and it hasn’t damaged them. Good for beginners who want a bit of movement without too much stress.

The fish looks beautiful with its white stone appearance. It’s not too aggressive and stays within the tank boundaries. I’m happy with the size and coloration. Just make sure your tank is large enough.

It’s a nice addition to the tank, but I noticed it sometimes nips at smaller invertebrates. I’ve since moved some of the smaller creatures to a separate area. Still, it’s a good beginner fish.
