I’ve kept this fish in a 150-gallon reef tank for over a year. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. The size is impressive, and it’s active during the day. Only suitable for expert aquarists due to the care requirements.

The fish looks healthy and stays calm in the tank. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe. It’s a bit large for smaller setups, so make sure your tank is at least 150 gallons.

This snapper has been a stable addition to our reef. It doesn’t eat any of the polyps or small invertebrates. Very satisfied with the purchase and the clarity of the species description.
