Description
The Torpedo Yamashiroi Wrasse, known for its sleek, streamlined body and subtle coloration, is an elegant and peaceful addition to reef and community aquariums. Its body exhibits shades of pale green with delicate blue accents around the head, which adds a touch of understated beauty to a tank. This wrasse is highly active, often swimming in open water and adding movement to any setup.
Native to reef environments, the Torpedo Yamashiroi Wrasse adapts well to tank life when provided with ample swimming space and rock formations for exploration. This fish is reef-safe, making it a suitable choice for setups with corals and invertebrates. However, as with all wrasses, a covered tank is essential due to their tendency to jump.
A carnivorous species, the Torpedo Yamashiroi Wrasse thrives on a diet of small meaty foods, including mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other protein-rich options. Regular, small feedings throughout the day are recommended to meet its dietary needs and support its high energy levels.
