Description
The Pink Face Wrasse, also known as the 5 Stripe Wrasse, is a vibrant and colorful species displaying hues of pink and green, with distinctive stripes running along its body. This peaceful fish is suitable for a community tank but may show slight aggression towards smaller invertebrates in a reef setting. Known for its active swimming and playful nature, it needs ample open space and rockwork for hiding. This wrasse thrives on a varied carnivorous diet, including crustaceans and meaty marine food, ensuring it remains healthy and maintains its bright coloration.
