Yellowtail Reef Basslet

Yellowtail Reef Basslet (Liopropoma mitratum)

The Yellowtail Reef Basslet is a stunning marine fish known for its vibrant purple body and contrasting bright yellow tail. This striking coloration makes it a popular choice for reef aquariums. Typically peaceful, the Yellowtail Reef Basslet is well-suited to community tanks, coexisting well with other non-aggressive species. It thrives in environments with plenty of hiding spots among live rock and coral formations. Providing a varied diet of small meaty foods, such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp, ensures its health and vibrant coloration. This hardy species adapts well to captivity, making it an excellent addition to both beginner and experienced aquarists’ tanks.
