Bought a juvenile Yellow Herald’s Angelfish for my 30-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful. I’ve kept it with a few soft corals, and it hasn’t damaged them yet. Needs some space and a stable environment. Good for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. It’s not overly aggressive, but it does chase smaller fish occasionally. I’m monitoring coral placement closely. Overall, a good addition to a balanced tank.
