Description
The Pintail Wrasse (Female) is a small, vibrant wrasse known for its striking orange hue, making it a beautiful addition to reef aquariums. This peaceful species adapts well to community tanks and thrives in reef setups. As a carnivore, it prefers a diet of meaty foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. The Pintail Wrasse is hardy, provided it has a stable environment with plenty of hiding spaces, and it tends to be reef-safe, coexisting well with invertebrates.
