SCIENTIFIC NAME - Macropharyngodon geoffroyi

COMMON NAME – Potter’s Leopard, Potters, Geoffroy’s, Shortnose Wrasse

SIZE – 4.5 in (11.4 cm)

MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 50 gal (189 gal)

FOODS AND FEEDING - Should be fed a variety of high quality marine meaty foods. Will also eat other small crustaceans.

REEF COMPATIBILITY - Yes

CAPTIVE CARE – This fish requires a mature reef system with lots of live foods for them to eat. It also requires a sand bed of at least 3 inches to hide and sleep in. This is a peaceful fish that does best with other peaceful fish. Wrasses are known jumpers so the aquarium top should be covered.
