The fish arrived healthy and vibrant. It has been in my 120-gallon reef tank for three months and is active and colorful. I feed it daily with mysis shrimp and marine flakes. It seems to adapt well to the tank conditions.
Piers May –
Good coloration and active behavior. I noticed it becomes more territorial after a few weeks, so I added a few larger rock formations to provide hiding spots. Feeding is straightforward with frozen foods.

Purchased this for my saltwater setup. The fish is lively and has maintained its bright yellow and white markings. Water parameters are stable, and it’s not aggressive with other fish as long as there’s enough space.
