Quick Stats

Description

The Blue Star Leopard Wrasse (Male) is a spectacularly patterned fish, featuring a vibrant blue and green body covered in white and black spots, making it one of the most visually appealing additions to a reef tank. Known for its delicate care needs, this species is suited only for experienced aquarists familiar with wrasse behavior and specialized aquarium requirements.

This wrasse requires a mature, well-established reef aquarium with ample live rock for foraging and a deep sandy substrate to allow burrowing, a behavior it exhibits when stressed or resting. The Blue Star Leopard Wrasse is peaceful and fully reef-compatible, thriving in setups with other non-aggressive fish and invertebrates.

Feeding can be a challenge, as this wrasse has a carnivorous diet and often prefers live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and other small marine invertebrates. This species can be difficult to acclimate and maintain in captivity, and due to its sensitivity to water conditions and specific dietary needs, it is frequently sold with no guarantee. For aquarists willing to provide the careful and consistent attention it requires, the Blue Star Leopard Wrasse is a captivating and rewarding addition to a reef tank.
