Fast Facts

This is an outstanding fish for the aquarium. Bold, hardy, colorful and easy to maintain, there's not much this fish doesn't have going for it! This is an active fish that requires plenty of swimming space and tankmates that aren't too passive. An excellent fish for the community "fish tank", this wrasse should not be kept in reef tanks, but of course it will do great with live rock. All members of the genus Thalassoma are exceptionally hardy and can live many years in a well-maintained aquarium. Shown is a specimen of around 3"-5". Larger specimens are even more attractive, becoming more lime green with size.
