East African Wrasse

• Coloration: The East African Wrasse displays vibrant colors, with a mix of green, blue, yellow, and orange hues. Males are often more vividly colored, with a striking combination of colors and patterns that can change depending on their mood and environment.
• Size: They typically grow to about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in length.
• Habitat: Found in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around coral reefs off the coast of East Africa. They are usually seen in shallow, reef-associated environments.
• Behavior: They are known for their active and inquisitive nature. In the wild, they often feed on small invertebrates and crustaceans. In a tank, they can be quite entertaining with their dynamic swimming patterns and behaviors. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial.
• Diet: In captivity, they thrive on a varied diet including high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and live or frozen invertebrates like shrimp and worms.

The East African Wrasse is suitable for reef tanks and community setups, especially those with other non-aggressive species. They prefer a well-structured tank with plenty of hiding spots and live rock.
