Overview
Overview
The Pencil Wrasse is a small, peaceful, and reef-safe species, known for its slender, elongated body and bright, vibrant coloration, which can vary between species. Active and graceful, it adds subtle beauty and constant motion to reef aquariums while naturally grazing on small invertebrates.
OriginNative to the Indo-Pacific region, Pseudojuloides species inhabit coral reefs and rubble zones, often hiding among crevices and live rock during the day.
FeedingAn omnivore that thrives on a diet of frozen mysis, brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and high-quality marine pellets. Supplement with live rock to encourage natural foraging behavior. Feed 2–3 times daily.
Tank MatesPeaceful and reef-safe with most species, including gobies, anthias, tangs, and other small, non-aggressive wrasses. Avoid large, aggressive, or highly territorial fish.
