The wrasse has been in my 75-gallon reef tank for three months. It’s active and colorful, and it doesn’t damage corals. I appreciate its semi-aggressive behavior—doesn’t harm other fish but does defend its space. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.

It’s a vibrant addition to the tank. I noticed it spends time near the rockwork, cleaning algae. It’s not overly aggressive, and it’s compatible with my other fish. A bit shy at first, but settled in well after a week.

The coloration is striking and the fish is very active. I’ve kept it with several other reef species, and there’s been no conflict. It’s a great visual element and helps maintain the tank’s cleanliness.
