The fish arrived healthy and active. The orange color and white stripes are very distinct. It has settled into the tank well and shows signs of natural behavior. Only a few other fish were introduced, and it has maintained its dominance without aggression.

Good coloration and movement. The fish seems calm once established. I had to remove a smaller fish to avoid conflict. Overall, a solid addition to a reef tank with proper setup.

The fish looks beautiful, but it was a bit aggressive when first introduced. After a week, it settled down. I recommend pairing with larger, non-threatening species to avoid stress.
