Description
The Jordan Tusk Fish (Choerodon jordani) is a captivating wrasse with a unique color palette of yellow, white, and hints of black, giving it a striking appearance in marine aquariums. Known for its active behavior and inquisitive personality, this semi-aggressive species is best kept with other robust tank mates to avoid territorial disputes.
As a carnivore, the Jordan Tusk Fish thrives on a diet of meaty foods, including shrimp, clams, and other marine proteins. While it can be housed in reef tanks, caution is advised, as it may disturb small invertebrates or overturn rocks while foraging.
Reaching up to 12 inches in length, this tusk fish requires a spacious tank of at least 100 gallons with ample rockwork for hiding and exploring. Its bold colors and engaging behavior make it a popular choice for experienced aquarists seeking an active and visually appealing species.
