Jasmine Manning –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 55-gallon tank. It hasn’t shown any aggressive behavior and blends well with other fish. Perfect for beginners looking for a calm, low-maintenance species.
Kylie Clarkson –
Grew nicely in my tank over several months. The fish is active but not disruptive. I appreciate that it doesn’t eat coral or other invertebrates. Good choice for a beginner reef setup.
