Notes: The Lunare Wrasse is probably one of the most amazing swimmers that can be housed in the home aquarium. It reminds many of jet fighters with its quick maneuvers and tight turns. It can be kept in a predator reef aquarium, or fish only tank, with other aggressive fishes such as triggers, puffers, large tangs, angels, and other aggressive wrasses. Provide with plenty of open swimming room. If you really want a show build several caves for it to swim through. Best added as one of the last fish introduced to the aquarium as it often becomes quite territorial and aggressive towards new introductions.
While the Lunare Wrasse will not bother living coral it will eat a wide variety of invertebrates and may pick at clams. This wrasse will attack and eat many smaller fishes.
Feed a mixed diet of meaty foods including shrimp, squid, krill, fish and frozen carnivore preparations.
