Bought this for my expert-level reef tank, but after checking the compatibility, I realized it’s not reef-safe. I’m keeping it in a large freshwater setup. It’s active and peaceful, just not for a coral tank. Good size for a large community setup.

Received the fish in good condition. It’s active and stays calm in the tank. I’ve maintained a 150-gallon setup with proper water parameters. It’s a solid choice for experienced aquarists who can handle larger fish.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to adjust well. I’m not planning to keep it in a reef tank. It’s a bit large for a smaller tank, so I made sure my setup is spacious enough.
