Easy to care for and adds vibrant color to the tank. It’s active and doesn’t cause much stress to other fish. Perfect for a beginner reef setup with proper tank size and hiding spots.

The fish looks stunning with its bright orange tail. It’s not overly aggressive, and it settles into the tank well after a few weeks. Just make sure the tank is at least 30 gallons.

Great addition to a small reef tank. It’s active, colorful, and doesn’t eat corals. I’ve kept it for six months and it’s still healthy and lively.
