Care guide at a glance
Hologymnosus doliatus
Description
A long, slender wrasse banded in candy pink and white as a juvenile, maturing into a green-blue adult. Fast, active and much larger than it first appears.
Feeding
Carnivorous. Frozen mysis, chopped prawn, clam and marine pellets, two or three times daily.
Compatibility
Reef safe with corals but hunts shrimp, small crabs and small fish. Fast and boisterous.
Behaviour and personality
A slender, torpedo-shaped wrasse that swims constantly at speed. Juveniles are pale with fine red bands; adults are green with blue markings.
Before you buy
Reaches 35-40 cm and swims constantly, so it needs serious length rather than volume. Requires a deep fine sand bed to bury in, and a sealed lid.
