The Threadfin Trevally is active but not aggressive. I kept it in a 75-gallon tank with live rock and it adapted well. It eats regularly and stays calm around other fish. Only observed minor coral contact, which I attribute to its natural movement. Satisfied with the purchase.

Easy to care for and peaceful in a community tank. Grew to about 5.5 inches in 6 months. I monitor the coral area closely and haven’t seen any damage. Good value for the size and temperament.

Perfect for a beginner reef tank. The fish is active and curious but doesn’t stress other inhabitants. I noticed it occasionally brushes against soft corals, so I’ve added a bit of space. Overall, a reliable and calm addition.
