Thalassoma hardwicke
Description
A green-bodied Thalassoma wrasse marked with six dark saddles along the back. Fast, hardy and full of energy.
Feeding
Carnivorous. Frozen mysis, chopped prawn, clam and marine pellets, two or three times daily.
Compatibility
Reef safe with corals but will hunt ornamental shrimp, small crabs and snails. Fast, boisterous and increasingly assertive with age.
Behaviour and personality
Extremely active, swimming constantly in open water. Buries in sand to sleep.
Before you buy
Needs a lot of open swimming room and a sealed lid, as Thalassoma wrasses jump. Grows larger and pushier than most buyers anticipate.
