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 Lunare Wrasses are almost always Large and XL size specimens, more often that not XL size, around 6"-8". The larger they are, the prettier they are, and Australia typically collects the largest specimens. All members of the genus Thalassoma are excellent aquarium fish, exceptionally hardy, and can live many years in a well-maintained aquarium. 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.

NOTE: Shown is an amazing underwater photo, the blue color on the head is exaggerated by the color rendering at depth and flash.
