Description
The Radiant Wrasse (African) is a stunning species, known for its bright and contrasting colors that include shades of red, yellow, and green. This wrasse is generally peaceful and is an excellent choice for a reef tank, as it won’t bother corals or invertebrates. It is an active swimmer and requires an aquarium with plenty of open space, sand for burrowing, and rockwork to hide in. The Radiant Wrasse thrives on a diet of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and other small crustaceans. It’s ideal for hobbyists seeking a colorful and dynamic addition to their tank, though it may take time to adjust initially.
