Captive Care: What a stunning fish this is! This fish is hard to miss with its all-black body and striking yellow-cream color. Their body shape allows them to glide through the water with the simplest flick of their caudle fin. A constant cruiser this fish will be moving through the rockwork as it picks at pods and tiny crustaceans. These very peaceful fish get along with almost all reef fish and will be a fantastic addition to a mainly peaceful tank. This wrasse is a sand sleeper, so a sand bed is recommended.
