Description
The Red Spot Wrasse is a beautifully colored fish, showcasing a vibrant combination of red and blue tones across its body with distinctive red spots near the head area. Known for its peaceful nature, this species thrives in well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock for hiding and exploring. The Red Spot Wrasse adapts well to a carnivorous diet, including small crustaceans and other meaty foods. While it generally adapts to reef tanks, caution is advised as it may nip at small invertebrates. This fish is ideal for moderate-level aquarists seeking to add a splash of color and personality to their tank.
