The Tripletail Maori Wrasse (Cheilinus trilobatum) is a large species of wrasse that is native to the Indo-West Pacific Ocean. They exhibit a unique tail that has 3 points, hence the name tripe tailed wrasse. They have a olive green/brown body with pink spots on their head and blue green and pink stripes going down their body. Juveniles are a darker color with 3 spots running down the middle of their sides. Growing up to 18 inches these wrasse require a tank size of 200 gallons minimum. This species is known to eat crustaceans, shrimp, krill, and frozen thawed pieces of fish and squid. They are not reef safe as they can overturn corals looking for food and harm invertebrates in the tank. Being active swimmers it is best to give them lots of space to swim and lots of rock work to hide in and feel comfortable in the tank. Do not house them with smaller species of wrasse as they may become aggressive and territorial with them.
