Care guide at a glance
Anampses caeruleopunctatus
Description
A large wrasse covered in bright blue spots over a dark green body, the juvenile and adult forms looking like entirely different fish. Impressive, and very large at maturity.
Feeding
Carnivorous. Frozen mysis, chopped prawn, clam and marine pellets, several times daily while establishing.
Compatibility
Reef safe with corals but will hunt shrimp, small crabs and snails. Peaceful toward fish.
Behaviour and personality
Constantly active, picking at rock and sand. Colour changes completely between juvenile and adult phases.
Before you buy
Two serious considerations: it reaches around 35 cm, and Anampses wrasses acclimate poorly. It needs a very large mature tank, a deep sand bed and frequent feeding while it settles.
