Received the tiny tomato clownfish and it’s vibrant. It’s active and stays in the corner of the tank. I’ve kept it in a 30-gallon reef tank with corals and it hasn’t caused any issues yet. Good for beginners who want a colorful fish without needing a large setup.

The fish arrived healthy and looks exactly as described. It’s small and bright red with a distinct tomato shape. I’m cautious because it’s aggressive, so I’ve kept it with larger, non-susceptible fish. Still, it adds a lot of visual appeal.

It’s a nice little fish, but I noticed it’s quite active and tends to chase smaller tank mates. I didn’t expect it to be aggressive, so I’m adjusting my tank layout to avoid close encounters.
