Description: Rainbow Wrasses are an extremely hardy fish for any level of aquarist. They can be aggressive eaters and are not safe for reef aquariums. Fish-only tanks with larger, semi-aggressive fish are the best for this fish. They should be not kept with other wrasses as they may fight. This fish heralds from the Indo-Pacific and is characterized by its turquoise body with bright magenta striping. A tight fitting lid is a MUST as this fish can jump out of the aquarium.
