Easy to set up and very active in the tank. It doesn’t harm the corals and adds a nice color to the display. Perfect for a beginner reef setup.
Jacob Parr –
Grew well in a 24-gallon tank. It’s not overly aggressive but does defend its space. Good choice for a reef tank with other peaceful fish.

Arrived healthy and stayed active. The coloration is bright and it’s a great addition to a colorful reef environment.
