The Timor Wrasse has been a great addition to my 120-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, though I had to place soft corals away from its feeding areas. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality marine flakes and frozen foods.

I’ve kept this wrasse for six months now. It’s a striking fish with vibrant colors. I noticed it occasionally bumps into a soft coral, so I rearranged the tank layout. Overall, it’s a good fit for a moderately sized reef setup.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. I’m cautious about its behavior around certain polyps. It’s not aggressive, but I expect to monitor its interactions closely over time.
