Harlequin Tusk

$315.99

-

The Harlequin Tusk comes from coral reefs in the Indian Ocean and Australia. Indian Ocean Tusks have orange stripes with white margins and hints of blue next towards the fin of the fish. Australian Tusks feature orange stripes that have vivid blue margins that begin from the pectoral fin all the way towards their tail. Both of these stunning colors feature bright blue teeth or tusks which are used to break invertebrates. They're great fish to have in the FOWLR (Fish only with live rock) aquarium. The fish tend to be timid when they are small in size but will develop confidence and personality as they get older. A 125-gallon or larger aquarium that is filled with live rock to hide in and moderately active fish such as Angels, Tangs, and smaller Triggers is a good setting. You should only keep one specimen per tank. While they aren't likely to harm corals, they can consume any crustacean that is small, like crabs and snails. The Harlequin Tusk Wrasse diet must include vitamin-enriched mysis shrimp that are frozen and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp frozen, and other meaty food, along with the highest quality sea flake as well as marine pellets. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 2-1/2" to 3-1/2"; Medium: 3-1/2" to 4-1/4"; Medium/Large: 4-1/4" to 5" Large: 5" to 6"; XLarge: 6" to 7"; XXLarge: 7" to 9"

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.
