The Yellowtail Tamarin Wrasse is a striking reef fish prized for its vibrant coloration and active behavior. This expert-level specimen requires a minimum 50-gallon tank with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. Known for its peaceful temperament, it thrives in established reef environments with stable water conditions. The wrasse will mature to approximately 8.5 inches and displays fascinating hunting behaviors as it searches the substrate for small crustaceans and invertebrates. While reef-compatible with caution, careful tank mates selection is essential to prevent aggression toward smaller ornamental shrimp and delicate corals. Best suited for experienced aquarists who can provide optimal water quality and a varied diet of quality frozen and live foods.
