Red Breasted Maori Wrasse Male-Cheilinus fasciatus

The Red Breasted Wrasse is a stunning and sizable fish, featuring a tan to brown body adorned with bold white stripes and red accents near its eyes. These wrasses can grow up to 16 inches and require a minimum tank size of 200 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, they generally coexist well with other fish and coral. However, larger individuals may prey on smaller fish and invertebrates, so caution is advised when introducing a Red Breasted Wrasse to a reef aquarium.

These wrasses thrive best with peaceful to semi-aggressive tank mates. Ample live rock is beneficial, offering hiding spots and small meals between feedings. Be aware that Red Breasted Wrasses may rearrange rock structures. As carnivores, they need a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and plankton to maintain their health and vitality.
