Blackedge Thicklip Wrasse / Hemigymnus melapterus
SCIENTIFIC NAME - Hemigymnus melapterus
COMMON NAME – Blackedge Thicklip Wrasse
SIZE – 20 in (51 cm)
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE – 150 gal (568 L)
FOODS AND FEEDING – It often refuses to eat in captivity, but if you can get it to eat it should be fed a variety of high quality meaty marine foods. It normally eats small invertebrates, especially small crustaceans, it finds on the rock work.
REEF COMPATIBILITY - No
CAPTIVE CARE – This fish will fight with members of its own species, but is peaceful towards other fish. The Blackedge Thicklip wrasse doesn’t have a record of success in the home aquarium. Wrasses are known jumpers so the aquarium top should be covered.
