I added the Zigzag Wrasse to my 55-gallon reef tank and it has been very active and peaceful. It doesn’t eat corals and stays in the middle area. Good for intermediate keepers who want a colorful, non-aggressive fish.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well in my tank. It’s active during the day and doesn’t seem to stress other fish. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided.
