Blake Slater –
The wrasse has adapted well to our 55-gallon reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with other fish. We’ve observed it cleaning algae from the rocks without disturbing corals. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Yvonne Hughes –
We added this wrasse to our tank after researching compatible species. It’s calm and has started to help with algae control. The coloration is vibrant and it looks healthy after a few weeks.
Jacob Wright –
This fish has been in our tank for three months and remains peaceful. It doesn’t chase other fish and shows no signs of stress. The size is within expectations and it’s a great addition to a balanced reef setup.
