The Tubelip Wrasse has been a great addition to my 50-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. After a few weeks, it started exploring the rockwork and seems active without being aggressive. Easy to care for once the tank is stable.

I’ve had this wrasse for about two months now. It’s calm and doesn’t eat any of the soft corals. The fish is active during the day and hides at night. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe and not too demanding in terms of water parameters.

This wrasse has adapted well to my tank. It’s not overly active but still shows curiosity. I didn’t have to worry about it damaging any of the invertebrates. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
