Earmuff Wrasse
Snapshot: These beautiful wrasses have a captivating blue-green body, adorned with a touch of pinkish-purple along their lower sides and belly. What sets them apart is the bold, bluish-black blotch right behind their eye.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 25cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region including the Great Barrier Reef, the Coral Sea and Christmas Island.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium. Thick, sandy substrate.
Aquarium set-up: Give your marine pal the ultimate security blanket — a plush sandbed of at least two inches for them to burrow into when the going gets tough. And don't forget the lid! Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Keep your Wrasse in top form with a gourmet diet of vitamin-enriched frozen mysis and brine shrimp, alongside high-quality marine flakes and pellets.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
