The **Saddle Wrasse** is a vibrant and eye-catching large wrasse native to the Hawaiian waters. These fish boast a predominantly blue body accented by a bold orange stripe behind the head, with hints of green throughout.

Reaching up to 11 inches, **Saddle Wrasses** require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. Known for their aggressive nature, they are not suitable for tanks with smaller fish. They also tend to consume many invertebrates found in reef aquariums, making them a challenging choice for peaceful reef setups. If you plan to introduce a **Saddle Wrasse** to your reef tank, exercise caution.

These fish are adept jumpers, so ensure your aquarium has a secure lid without any gaps. **Saddle Wrasses** thrive in environments with ample live rock for hiding and foraging for small invertebrates. They may also need to burrow in the sand bed, so providing one is essential.

As carnivores, **Saddle Wrasses** need a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods to promote growth and health.
