Description
The Red Slender Wrasse is a graceful and slender fish with striking red and blue horizontal stripes running along its body. Known for its peaceful temperament, this wrasse makes an excellent addition to community tanks, especially with other peaceful tankmates. It thrives on a carnivorous diet consisting of finely chopped seafood and mysis shrimp. Though generally reef-safe, it may occasionally forage for tiny invertebrates. This species enjoys a well-established tank with live rock, providing ample hiding spots and swimming areas. Its vibrant colors and active swimming behavior make it a visually captivating choice for any saltwater aquarium.
