Jack Nash –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 75-gallon reef tank. It’s active but doesn’t bother other fish. Looks great with the corals and has been thriving for over six months.
Fiona Bond –
Got this for my beginner reef setup. It’s calm and doesn’t eat anything. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a nice addition to the tank.
Alan Rutherford –
Perfect for a new aquarist. It’s hardy, stays in one area, and doesn’t stress the tank. I’m happy with the size and behavior.
