Bought this wrasse for my 55-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s active but not aggressive. Feeds well on small crustaceans and doesn’t bother other fish. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and settled in quickly. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe. A bit shy at first, but now it’s exploring the tank regularly.

Perfect addition to my reef tank. It’s not too large and doesn’t cause any issues with corals. Easy to care for and stays calm around other fish. Would recommend to others with similar setups.
