Tim Russell –
Added a female Squareback Anthias to my 100-gallon reef tank. She’s active and adds color without being overly aggressive. She’s adapted well to the environment and doesn’t bother the corals. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Abigail Lambert –
The fish looks beautiful and fits well in the tank. I noticed she’s slightly more active during the day and tends to stay near the back wall. No issues with the reef community so far.
Stephen Hudson –
Great addition to my reef setup. She’s calm most of the time, only showing mild aggression when defending her space. Tank size is sufficient, and she’s thriving after a few weeks.
