I bought this wrasse for my 150-gallon reef tank and it has been thriving. It’s active but not overly aggressive, and it doesn’t bother the corals. Easy to care for and fits well in the tank environment. Great addition to a beginner-friendly reef setup.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s semi-aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with larger, more robust fish. It’s a good choice for a reef tank with proper space and hiding spots.

This wrasse is a solid pick for a reef tank. It’s not too demanding and stays calm most of the time. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe and doesn’t eat coral. It’s become a regular part of the tank’s activity.
