Medium China Wrasse
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.
