Dragon Wrasse

$105.00

Dragon Wrasse (Novaculichthys taeniourus)

The Dragon Wrasse, also known as the Rockmover Wrasse, is a large and impressive reef fish, admired for its striking elongated body, subtle color patterns of green and brown, and dramatic size. Known for its active and inquisitive behavior, it constantly explores the aquarium, often moving rocks and rubble in search of food, showcasing both its personality and natural foraging instincts.

Size: Typically grows up to 16 inches in length

Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and northern Australia

Latin Name: Novaculichthys taeniourus

Care Level: Moderate – requires a well-established aquarium with stable water parameters, plenty of live rock for exploration, and a deep sandbed

Dragon Wrasses are carnivores that feed on small crustaceans, worms, and other meaty marine foods. They are generally reef safe with caution, as they may uproot small corals and invertebrates while foraging, but they rarely harm larger tankmates. Their unique behavior, bold presence, and natural intelligence make them a fascinating and dynamic addition to large reef aquariums.
