Radiant Wrasse

Radiant Wrasse, Halichoeres iridis , is a native of the African waters. This carnivore adapts to aquarium life when offered a wide variety of meaty foods such as Brine Shrimp. It will reach a mature size of approximately 5 inches and is generally recommended for a reef aquarium although it may eat small snails and urchins. A sand bed and Live Rock should be provided for all Wrasses. They will bury themselves in the sand to sleep or hide. Live Rock provides numerous small life forms that the Wrasses consider a tasty treat as well as another place to hide when they feel threatened.
