Easy to care for and very active in the tank. It doesn’t bother other fish and stays near the substrate. Perfect for a beginner reef setup. Has been in my 10-gallon tank for three months and still healthy.

Arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. Works well in a mixed community tank with clownfish and small shrimp.

Great addition to my reef tank. The orange spots stand out and it’s very peaceful. No aggression or issues with corals so far. Recommended for new aquarium owners.
