Transform Your Tank with a Rare, Pattern-Forward Collector Wrasse

Looking for a wrasse that commands attention the moment it enters the water column? The China Wrasse is one of the most visually distinctive reef additions available, with intricate spotting and iridescent coloration that shifts and intensifies under reef lighting. This medium specimen is at the ideal stage of development, active, eating well, and ready to claim its territory in an established saltwater aquarium.

China Wrasses are dynamic, constantly moving additions that bring energy and personality to any display. They work the live rock methodically, hunting the rock surface with a precision that is as entertaining to watch as it is impressive. As this specimen settles into its environment, the full depth of its coloration emerges, making it one of the more rewarding wrasses to keep in a mature reef system.

Why Buy From The Coral Boutique?

At The Coral Boutique, we specialize in ethically sourced, healthy, and exceptionally rare saltwater aquarium specimens. When you purchase from us, you can rest assured that your new addition has been carefully quarantined, conditioned, and is eating well before it ever ships to your door.

Our fish are selected with appearance, behavior, and feeding response in mind before being listed. We aim to offer healthy, alert specimens for established saltwater systems.

Please confirm this fish is compatible with your tank size, current livestock, temperament needs, and reef goals before ordering. If you are unsure, contact us before checkout and we’ll help you choose responsibly.

Livestock ships Monday through Wednesday. We confirm a delivery day with you before your order goes out, and we will hold it if the weather is bad or an animal needs more time in quarantine.

Free shipping is paused during the Vice Reef sale, through Nov 30. Florida addresses ship for $39.99. Free same-day Miami pickup is available at 46 NW 36th St and is usually ready in 1–2 hours.

Eligible livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the animal in its sealed bag before you open anything, then email that photo with your order number within two hours of delivery. Our team reviews every claim and gets you an answer within one business day. Failed delivery attempts, refused packages, or missed delivery windows may void coverage.

Acclimate fish carefully and introduce them into a stable, established saltwater aquarium. Match temperature and salinity slowly, keep lights low during introduction, and monitor behavior closely after release.

We photograph our fish in house to show their coloration and patterning as clearly as we can. Colors can look different under your own lights.

When a fish in our WYSIWYG collection has one in stock, the photo is the exact fish you receive. Other fish listings use a representative photo of the species and the quality you can expect. Every fish is carefully selected for health, coloration, and temperament before shipping.
