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.
