Description
The Royal Pencil Wrasse (Severns) Female (Pseudojuloides severnsi) is a small, peaceful wrasse species known for its slender, pencil-like body and subtle, elegant coloration. This species is predominantly reddish-pink with hints of orange, and it is highly active in the water column. It originates from the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around coral reefs.
The Royal Pencil Wrasse is peaceful and suitable for reef tanks, where it coexists well with other peaceful tankmates. Due to its small size and non-aggressive nature, it is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a calm and visually appealing wrasse to a reef community. It will not harm corals or invertebrates, making it a reef-safe option.
As a carnivore, this wrasse thrives on a diet of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other meaty foods. Offering a varied diet will ensure its health and maintain its vibrant colors. This species prefers a tank with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging, as it is an active swimmer and will often dart around the aquarium.
The Royal Pencil Wrasse makes for a delightful addition to smaller or medium-sized reef aquariums, offering a peaceful temperament and beautiful coloration that will enhance any marine environment.
