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.

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.
