The fish arrived healthy and has been active in the 40-gallon tank for two months. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals, though I keep it away from soft polyps. Good for intermediate reef keepers.

It’s a unique addition to the tank. I noticed it doesn’t eat much, so I added more algae to supplement. It’s calm and stays near the back wall. Works well with other fish.

After a month, the fish has grown to about 4 inches. I’m happy with the size and behavior. I keep it in a 50-gallon tank with caution, and it hasn’t damaged any corals.
