Vermiculate Leopard Wrasse (fem)

(Size-5")(Reef-yes) These fishes require a fine sandy substrate as they bury themselves at night for protection. They require a very well established aquarium as they naturally hunt for small crustaceans throughout the day. This unique wrasse is found around the East African coast in the Western Indian Ocean.   Diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.  (Macropharyngodon bipartitus)
