Nebulous Wrasse

The Nebulous Wrasse (Halichoeres nebulosus) has a range of shades, with intricate patterns and sometimes bold mottling. This helps it blend into structures, rocks, and algae that are weedy. Although the patterns and colors might break the ocelli, also known as an eye spot is visible at the center of the dorsal fin. Males of mature age have pink spots beneath the eye, and females have pink spots across the abdomen.

It is believed that the Nebulous Wrasse can be described as a burrowing species that is equipped to feed on benthic invertebrates. Therefore, the ideal aquascape will have an area that is open so that the Nebulous Wrasse can easily get access to a fine, sandy substrate.

An aquarium that is established and 90 gallons or greater with other tank mates that are passive is the ideal habitat.
