Got the S size Lunare Wrasse and it’s been thriving in my 75-gallon tank. It’s active and curious, though I’ve had to keep a close eye on it due to its aggressive nature. The coral setup is stable so far, and it doesn’t seem to damage anything. Great for a beginner with proper space and attention.

The wrasse arrived healthy and has grown steadily since I got it. I’m happy with the beginner-friendly care level, but I do need to supervise feeding and tank interactions. It’s not the most gentle fish, but it’s manageable with a well-maintained tank.

It’s been a few months now and the wrasse is still active. I’m cautious about its behavior around other fish, especially smaller ones. The tank size is adequate, and it hasn’t damaged any corals. Would recommend with proper planning.
