-

The simple-to-strike Grey Head Wrasse, or Threespot Wrasse, is characterized by three white lines running along the sides of its head and three black spots on its back along with three false "eyes" which run along its dorsal fin from an additional one on the tail of females and juveniles. Male Grey Head Wrasses, have vibrant blue stripes across their face , and red spots with orange across their bodies. A 70-gallon or bigger aquarium that has a lid that is tight with a 2-3" sandy bottom that you can hide in if you are scared, and other tranquil wrasses including the species it is, are an ideal setting. It eats fireworms as well as pyramidellid snails. It also protects the corals and clams they do not harm. The larger species can devour smaller ornamental crabs and shrimp. It also may devour birdseed dusters as well as wild shrimp flatworms, and tubeworms. It can also eat parasites from tank mates. The diet should contain vitamin-rich frozen mysis shrimps, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and other meaty food items, along with an excellent sea flake as well as marine pellets. Approximate size of purchase: Juvenile (Small): 1-1/2" to 2-1/4"; Female/Subadult (Medium): 2-1/4" to 3"; Male (Large): 3" to 4"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
