The Belted Sandfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 55-gallon tank after a week. The coloration is vibrant and it swims confidently among the corals. Easy to care for and a great addition to a reef setup.

We’ve had this fish for two months now. It’s active and shows no signs of stress. The pattern on its body is very noticeable and it’s a nice contrast to the tank’s inhabitants. Feeding is simple with a mix of flakes and frozen shrimp.
