Description: The Bluehead Wrasse exhibits distinctive coloration with a blue head and caudal fin, a green body, and a black and white stripe behind its gill plate. This fish will readily accept frozen food and is a great Wrasse for beginner aquarists. An ample amount of space and rockwork should be provided. Make sure to have a lid, as this fish can jump. This Wrasse originates from the Caribbean and should not be mixed with other large or Thalossoma Wrasses. Be cautious, as they may be territorial with new tank mates.
