Red Lip Cleaner Wrasse - Labroides rubrolabiatus

The Red Lip Cleaner Wrasse is a captivating and seldom-seen species of cleaner wrasse. These fish exhibit a vibrant red to yellow body that transitions to black towards the tail, complemented by their signature red lips.

Reaching up to 5 inches in length, Red Lip Cleaner Wrasses require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, invertebrates, and corals. Known for their jumping ability, these wrasses need a securely covered tank to prevent escape.

In their natural habitat, Red Lip Cleaner Wrasses feed by cleaning larger fish of parasites and dead skin. This makes them challenging to adapt to aquarium life, especially with fewer fish to clean. Therefore, they are best suited for experienced aquarists.

As carnivores, Red Lip Cleaner Wrasses thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Some can be trained to eat mysis and brine shrimp, provided the food is appropriately sized for their small mouths.
