The fish is very active and adds a lot of visual interest to the tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. After a few weeks, it started grazing on algae and has become a regular part of the tank’s ecosystem.

Great coloration and movement. It’s a bit shy at first but settles into the tank well. I’m happy with the size and behavior in a 55-gallon reef tank.

The yellow eye marking is very noticeable and adds a unique touch. It’s easy to care for once the tank is stable and has been feeding properly for a few weeks.
