Description

The Two Spot Wrasse is a vibrant marine fish known for its striking coloration and distinct markings.

This fish is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is a popular choice for saltwater aquariums due to its hardy nature and unique appearance.

Reef Safe

Yes, but with caution. They may nip at small-polyped stony coral and clam mantles.

Environment

They prefer a tank with plenty of open swimming space, as well as live rock for hiding and foraging. A sandy substrate is also important as they like to burrow.

Behavior

Two Spot Wrasses are active swimmers and will need plenty of open space. They are also known to bury themselves in the sand when they feel threatened or during the night.
