The Jewelled Wrasse is an exquisite fish with an elaborate pattern of red, tan and browns painted across their body. This spectacular species is found in the western Indian Ocean from Mozambique and Natal to Reunion, Mauritius and Madgascar, however, they are not commonly seen in the aquarium trade. They are being fed small Gamma frozen meaty foods and Nutramar Complete Pellets for their continued health. They are a rapacious predator of pretty much every nuisance invert in an aquarium, but this also means they may nip at clams, snails, starfish and small shrimp. It also means they are unlikely in the extreme to bother corals or anemones. Click here to learn more
