I bought this Stone Fish for my 50-gallon tank and it has been thriving. It’s active but not overly aggressive. I’ve noticed it doesn’t eat coral, which is good. The size is within the expected range and it looks natural in the setup.
Keith Bond –
The fish arrived healthy and settled in quickly. I kept a close eye on it since it’s semi-aggressive. It’s not a threat to other fish, and it’s a good addition to a beginner reef tank.
