The Timor Wrasse is a vibrant, active swimmer that brings dynamic movement and color to established reef aquariums. This semi-aggressive wrasse displays striking patterns and exhibits natural hunting behaviors, making it an engaging addition for experienced aquarists. Native to Indo-Pacific reef environments, this species thrives in tanks with plenty of open swimming space and rocky structures for shelter. It feeds on small crustaceans and benefits from a varied diet of quality marine foods. The Timor Wrasse is generally reef-compatible but may prey on small ornamental shrimp and delicate invertebrates, so tank mates should be chosen carefully. This specimen is approximately 3.25 inches and will mature to around 7 inches. It requires intermediate care with stable water conditions, strong filtration, and a minimum tank size of 100 gallons to accommodate its active nature and territorial behavior as it grows.
