Dragon Wrasse

The Dragon Wrasse is also known as the Rockmover Wrasse. The juvenile body color is a mixture of maroon and green, with white markings. The fins are also distinctive in appearance, particularly the two dorsal spines which form the "cow-lick." The adult doesn't have massive dorsal spines and has a light blue to green body, with striking dark markings. It is recommended to keep it in a 180-gallon or larger tank with the bottom being sand-filled with 2-4 inches that it can sink into as it sleeps. It can be kept with fish who are larger or more aggressive than it is. However, it should be kept with passive fish when it is a young one and only house one fish per tank. It shouldn't be kept in a reef aquarium. When the Dragon Wrasse develops, it will feed on crustaceans. starfish, snails, shrimp small fish, and worms along with other vermi-vertebrates. It also moves corals and rearranges the rocks within the aquarium in order to locate food. The aquarium must also have a tight lid to stop the fish from jumping out. The Dragon Wrasse diet must include vitamin-enriched mysis shrimp frozen, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp frozen, meaty food items, sea flake as well as marine pellets.
