Radiant Wrasse EXPERT ONLY

The Radiant Wrasse is sometimes called "orangehead" Wrasse, Iridis Wrasse, and Radiant Africa Wrasse. Adults have the body of dark red and lighter coloration around the edges and fins. The head is bright gold color, with yellow tones that continue along to the dorsal fin. The coloring of the juvenile is less subtle. A 50-gallon or larger aquarium fitted with a secure lid and 2 to 3 inches of sand bottom that it hide in if scared, and other tranquil snails, such as their own kind, makes an appropriate habitat. It can eat fireworms as well as pyramidellid snails while protecting the corals and clams that aren't a problem. The larger species can devour smaller crabs and shrimp that are ornamental. It also may consume birdseed dusters as well as wild shrimp flatworms, and tubeworms. It can also consume parasites from tank buddies. It is recommended that the Radiant Wrasse diet must consist of vitamin-rich frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp frozen in brine, and other meaty food items, in addition to an excellent marine flake and food made from marine pellets.
