I’ve had my Adorned Wrasse for six months now and it’s been very active and peaceful. It doesn’t eat coral or bother other fish. The tank is 60 gallons and it’s thriving. Only thing is it needs a lot of space and a well-established environment.

The wrasse looks beautiful and stays calm in the tank. I was worried about it being aggressive, but it’s actually quite shy and only explores when the tank is quiet. Needs expert care, but worth it for the appearance.

Great addition to my reef tank. It’s active, doesn’t damage corals, and blends well with the other fish. I followed the care instructions carefully and it’s doing well now.
