Easy to set up and maintain. The fish is active and colorful, adds a nice touch to my 30-gallon tank. It’s peaceful with other fish except when sharing space with smaller species. Great for beginners.

Loved the vibrant blue color. It’s not overly aggressive, but it does defend its territory. I made sure to keep it with larger, calm fish. Overall, a satisfying addition to my reef setup.

Perfect for a small reef tank. The fish stays healthy and shows good color even after a few weeks. I appreciate the beginner-friendly care level and the fact that it doesn’t eat corals.
