The Yellow Assessor is a striking fish with bright yellow color and blue eye markings. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other tank inhabitants. It swims upside down occasionally, which is unusual but fascinating to watch. Easy to care for and fits well in a reef tank.

I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s very active. It swims upside down more than I expected, but it’s not aggressive. It’s a good addition to a mixed reef setup and stays calm around corals.
