Easy to care for and fits well in a 150-gallon tank. The fish is active but not overly aggressive. I noticed it occasionally nips at smaller corals, so I kept it away from delicate invertebrates. It’s a good beginner-friendly addition to a reef setup.

Grew to about 5 inches and stayed calm in a 150-gallon tank. It’s not the most colorful, but it’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. Just keep an eye on it when introducing to a reef environment.

Perfect for a beginner reef tank. The flounder is semi-aggressive but manageable. I placed it in a tank with larger corals and it didn’t cause any issues. It’s active and adds a nice presence without being overly dominant.
