The Chisel Tooth Wrasse is a striking marine fish known for its vibrant blue and green coloration, accented by yellow highlights along its fins and body. This wrasse is a captivating addition to reef aquariums, where its active behavior and unique appearance can be fully appreciated.
Native to coral reefs, the Chisel Tooth Wrasse is generally peaceful and can coexist well with other non-aggressive species. It thrives in a well-structured environment with ample rockwork for hiding and exploring. Its peaceful temperament makes it suitable for community tanks, although it may exhibit territorial behavior if not provided enough space.
As a carnivore, this wrasse requires a diet rich in protein, including high-quality pellets, frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, and other meaty offerings. Regular feeding is essential for maintaining its health and vibrant coloration.
