Added the Twostick Stingfish to my 40-gallon reef tank after researching compatibility. It’s peaceful and adds a unique look. I keep an eye on it near soft corals, but no issues so far. Good for intermediate keepers who want a striking but calm fish.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active in the tank for two months. It doesn’t bother other fish and stays near the back wall. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a soft coral, so I’ve moved it slightly to avoid contact.

This is a beautiful addition to my aquarium. The coloration and movement are impressive. I’ve maintained stable water parameters and the fish has grown steadily to about 5 inches. Very satisfied with the purchase.
