Description
The Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse is a small, brightly colored marine fish known for its striking yellow and black bands. It has a unique, possum-like appearance, hence its name. This fish is popular in the aquarium trade due to its vibrant coloration and interesting behavior.
Reef Safe
Yes, they are generally considered reef safe, but may nip at small invertebrates.
Environment
Yellow Banded Possum Wrasses prefer a well-decorated tank with plenty of hiding places. They thrive in tanks with live rock, which provides them with plenty of spaces to hide and hunt for food. They are not particularly strong swimmers, so they do not require strong water flow.
Behavior
These fish are generally peaceful, but can be territorial with others of their own kind. They are known to be somewhat shy, often hiding among rocks and corals.
