Formosa Wrasse (Cheilinus formosus)
The Formosa Wrasse is a large, striking wrasse species, admired for its bold coloration and commanding presence in the aquarium. Juveniles display vibrant patterns of green, orange, and black, while adults develop more muted yet equally impressive markings, often with a green body and intricate facial striping. Known for their intelligence and activity, Formosa Wrasses are powerful swimmers that bring energy and personality to large marine systems.
Size: Can grow up to 20 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific
Latin Name: Cheilinus formosus
Care Level: Moderate to Difficult – requires a very large, well-established aquarium with secure rockwork and plenty of swimming space
Formosa Wrasses are carnivores, feeding on crustaceans, mollusks, and other meaty marine foods. They are not reef safe, as they will prey on invertebrates and smaller fish, but they can make impressive display specimens in fish-only or predator tanks.
