Sunset Wrasse - Central Pacific

The Sunset Wrasse, Thalassoma lutescens, has a multitude of common names including the Banana Wrasse, Lime Green Wrasse, Lime Green Sunset Wrasse, Yellow-brown Wrasse, or Yellow Wrasse. It features unique green facial markings with yellow/brown/green striping across its body. 

Like other wrasse species, it is best kept in a tank with a tightly sealed lid to prevent escapes, plenty of live rock hiding places, and a sandy substrate.

The Sunset Wrasse is a beautiful  species that will spend its time actively exploring live rock structures, as well as hunting and eating pesky bristle worms.
