The Dragon Wrasse (Novaculichthys taeniourus), also known as the Rockmover Wrasse, Striped Wrasse, Clown Wrasse, Reindeer Wrasse, or Red Belly Wrasse, hails from the Indo-Pacific with a stunning black and white checkered body, striped mask, red belly, and horn-like frills. Ideal for Nano aquariums, they require a thick sandy substrate for burrowing and sleep, plenty of live rock hiding spots, and a secure lid due to their escape tendencies. While entertaining to watch, they're not reef safe as they consume small fish and invertebrates. With a potential size of up to 12 inches, they demand a minimum 120-gallon tank and thrive on a diet of meaty saltwater foods like krill, clams, and shrimp. Sourced from Saltwaterfish.com, they ensure a reliable and ethical addition to marine environments, promising a captivating centerpiece for any saltwater aquarium.

The Dragon Wrasse are great fish. They acclimated very well. They are always out and swimming around. Their color changes under my lighting. Fun to watch.
