Electric 24K Rapunzel Wrasse (Large)

Transform Your Tank with a Living Thread of Gold

Looking for something truly one-of-a-kind in your reef tank? The Electric 24K Rapunzel Wrasse is one of the most visually arresting marine specimens available to the home aquarium hobby — its flowing, ribbon-like finnage shimmers with an almost metallic gold and electric blue iridescence that photographs won't do justice. Rare in the trade and highly sought after, this is the kind of centerpiece addition that stops visitors mid-sentence.

At large size, this specimen has already developed its signature elongated dorsal filament — the trait that earns it the "Rapunzel" name — and will continue to refine and extend it as it settles into a well-maintained saltwater aquarium. Active, curious, and bold without being aggressive, it patrols the mid-to-upper water column with effortless elegance and quickly learns to associate its keeper with feeding time. Rewarding for intermediate to advanced aquarists who appreciate something extraordinary.
