Melanurus Wrasse (Halichoeres melanurus)

The Melanurus Wrasse is a hardy and active reef-safe wrasse, prized for its vibrant green, blue, and yellow patterning. This dynamic fish is not only a visual standout but also serves a practical role in pest control, feeding on nuisance invertebrates like flatworms and bristle worms.

Thriving in well-established aquariums with plenty of rockwork and a sandy substrate for burrowing, this wrasse is a peaceful community fish but may become territorial toward smaller wrasses over time. A secure lid is essential, as it is known to jump.

Retail Appeal:

• Beautiful coloration with shifting blue, green, and yellow hues.
• Natural pest control, helping manage flatworms and unwanted invertebrates.
• Hardy, reef-safe, and a great choice for community tanks.

Stock the Melanurus Wrasse to offer customers a functional and strikingly beautiful fish that benefits both reef and fish-only aquariums.
