| Fast Facts | Bold, hardy, colorful and easy to maintain, there's not much this fish doesn't have going for it! Not regularly available, Australian Lime Green Wrasses are nearly always Large and Extra Large size specimens. The larger they are, the prettier they are, and Australia collects the largest, nicest specimens! 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 an underwater photo of a very large specimen | ||||||||||||||||
