I bought this Threadfin Trevally for my 75-gallon reef tank. It has been thriving for six months and is very peaceful. It doesn’t bother the corals, though I still keep a safe distance from soft polyps. Easy to care for and fits well in a beginner-friendly setup.

The fish arrived healthy and active. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a soft coral, so I’ve moved it slightly away. Still, it’s a good addition to my tank.

Perfect for a beginner reef tank. The fish is peaceful and grows steadily. I didn’t have any issues with it damaging corals, and it’s adapted well to the lighting and water conditions.
