Lunare Wrasse

Lunare Wrasse (Thalassoma lunare)

The Lunare Wrasse, commonly known as the Moon Wrasse due to its crescent-shaped yellow caudal fin, boasts a vibrant green body adorned with distinctive blue, green, and pink markings on its face, along with a luminous yellow tail. To keep this species successfully, it’s essential to have a tank with a secure lid to prevent escapes, ample live rock for hiding spots, and a deep sandy substrate.

Be aware that the Lunare Wrasse can be aggressive toward other wrasses that resemble it, so careful consideration is needed when selecting tank mates. As they mature, their coloration will shift, with adults displaying more green on their bodies. For optimal health, feed them a varied diet of meaty saltwater foods, including brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, krill, clams, and other protein-rich options 1 to 2 times a day.
