Bought this wrasse for my 55-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s active and healthy. It doesn’t bother the polyps, though I keep an eye on it. Feeds well on small crustaceans and algae.
Pippa Wallace –
The wrasse arrived healthy and seems to adapt well. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a soft coral, so I’ve moved it slightly away. Still, it’s a calm fish and fits well in the tank.
