This remarkable male African Pencil Wrasse has made its way onto our WYSIWYG! Multiple specimens can be housed together, and it's quite possible to mix more than one species from this genus. Compared to most wrasses, Pseudojuloides are exceptionally peaceful and often quite timid. This must be kept in mind when choosing tankmates, as more boisterous labrids can cause a Pencil Wrasse to spend its time in hiding. And though they are not especially large in size (maximum size is only around 5 inches), they benefit from having ample swimming room. A large reef aquarium makes for an ideal setting. In house, we are feeding them a mix of Nutramar Algae & Color Boost Shots and Gamma meaty frozen foods.

Are they reef safe and where can I acquire one?
The African Pencil Wrasse will not harm corals in the reef aquarium, but caution should be used if housed with small snails, tiny hermits, or tiny crustaceans, Have your favorite LFS contact Quality Marine to secure yours today!

Thank you for reaching out! We are a wholesale facility so we sell to retail stores, but we recommend having your LFS contact Quality Marine for availability.

How about a list of some of the LFS who sell your stock? I am currently in Arizona. Are you parented with any one on the site that could make these requests more streamline?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
