Description
The Creole Wrasse (Clepticus parrae) is a vibrant, active species known for its brilliant hues of purple, blue, and yellow, making it a standout addition to any marine aquarium. This peaceful fish hails from the tropical waters of the Caribbean and is often seen darting around coral reefs in the wild. Its streamlined body and vibrant colors make it a beautiful and dynamic presence in reef aquariums.
The Creole Wrasse is a peaceful fish that thrives in a community tank with other non-aggressive species. It is an omnivore, feeding on a diet of plankton, small crustaceans, and algae. In captivity, it should be fed a varied diet of both meaty and plant-based foods to ensure optimal health.
Reef-compatible and relatively easy to care for, the Creole Wrasse does well in well-established tanks with plenty of live rock and swimming space. Its lively nature and striking appearance make it a popular choice for marine hobbyists, adding color and movement to any tank setup.
