Care guide at a glance
Anampses chrysocephalus
Description
A Hawaiian tamarin wrasse, the male dark-bodied with an orange head and the female covered in fine white spots with a red tail. Striking and demanding.
Feeding
Carnivorous, picking tiny invertebrates from rock and sand. Frozen mysis and enriched brine shrimp several times daily, plus a mature tank with live pod populations.
Compatibility
Reef safe with corals but hunts small invertebrates. Peaceful and easily outcompeted.
Behaviour and personality
Picks constantly at rock and sand, burying in the sand bed to sleep.
Before you buy
Tamarin wrasses ship badly and often arrive thin. They need a mature system with abundant live food, a deep fine sand bed and frequent feeding while settling.
