The Lighting Wrasse or Yellowcheek Wrasse is wide-spread in the Caribbean waters. It is a long slender fish with a blue body and a yellow band that runs along the top of the body from the nose to the end of the dorsal fin.
They are a smaller wrasse but will need a larger tank for their territories. It will adapt well in a community aquarium but may fight with other wrasses. Juveniles will help pick parasites from other fish in the tank. Have plenty of live rock with lots of good hiding places and thick sandy substrate. Will eat invertebrates.
The wrasse will consume a wide variety of foods. Feed vitamin enriched frozen and dry foods. Train your wrasse to eat Ocean Nutrition Pellet Food for a healthy diet.
