Two Spot Wrasse

The Two Spot Wrasse (Cheilinus bimaculatus) is a beautifully vibrant and complex fish found among the reefs of the Indo-Pacific. They have a teal and red body with crosshatched designs, a white underbelly, and intricate facial designs. They remain relatively small, reaching a maximum size of 6 inches, and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 75 gallons. They are not considered reef safe and do best in fish only systems with fish of similar size and temperament. It is not recommended to keep two of the same wrasse together, as they can be aggressive towards one another. They should be fed a variety of carnivorous preparations, including mysis or krill.
