Description
The Red Shoulder Wrasse is a captivating species known for its vibrant coloration, featuring a unique blend of green, brown, and bright red near its head, with neon blue lines along its body. This wrasse is semi-aggressive and best suited for tanks with similarly tempered species. It enjoys a diet of meaty foods, including small crustaceans. This fish may occasionally nip at invertebrates, so caution is recommended if adding it to a reef aquarium. It is a hardy species that can thrive in a well-maintained tank with live rock and open swimming space.
