About

The wrasses (family Labridae) are one of the largest groups of marine fish, and many reach the aquarium trade — cleaner wrasse, yellow coris, melanurus and leopard wrasse among them. Adults range from 8 to 20 cm by species. Most are active swimmers by day and at night either bury in sand or spin a mucus cocoon to rest, which makes a fine sand bed of 5 cm or more a basic requirement. Many Halichoeres and Coris species earn their place as clean-up crew, eating flatworms, bristle worms and coral-eating snails. The same appetite extends to small shrimp and juvenile snails, and as strong swimmers they jump readily, so a lid is essential. Difficulty varies enormously between species, so check the individual species' diet before buying.
