Description

This cave dwelling wrasse is a relatively new addition to the aquarium hobby. It can be found all over tropical Pacific waters and is one of the most spectacularly colored wrasses in the family. Multiple specimens can be kept together in larger, 200+ gallon tanks. Otherwise, one male per tank. The male is pictured above. Females are very rare to see in the hobby since most pencil wrasses females look very similar.
