Christmas Wrasse (Halichoeres claudia)

As a beautiful, reef-safe wrasse, the Christmas Wrasse makes a flashy and highly energetic addition to every aquarium.  They can reach up to 5 inches and a 50 gallon or larger aquarium with a tight-fitting lid is recommended. A 2-3 inch sandy bottom (to hide under if frightened) and other peaceful wrasses, including its own species, is an acceptable environment. It will eat fireworms and pyramidellid snails, while also protecting corals and clams. In addition, it may eat feather dusters, wild shrimp, tubeworms, and flatworms. It may also eat parasites off of tank mates. The Christmas Wrasse diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
