Love the bright yellow coloring. Buries in the sand at night and anytime I put my hand in the tank or look at him wrong haha. But I think he eats a few of my pests in the tank. Never seen him act aggressively.

Cute and vibrant fish. Of the reef safe wrasses this is usually the most affordable and available. They don’t get too large so I could see people keeping them in 40 breeders and doing well. As far as wrasse go I love them all so I would definitely get another one of these.

Eats pests, looks cool, can get quite big and can eat small crustaceans. Overall one of my faves

One of my favourites, eats pests but also can eat small crustaceans when it reaches its full size so be wary of that. Sleeps in the sand so sand is essential. Its color is very bright so it really stands out
