Radiant Wrasse (Halichoeres iridis)
The Radiant Wrasse, also known as the Iridis Wrasse, is a brilliantly colored reef fish admired for its glowing orange-red body accented with vivid blue and yellow highlights. Active and graceful, this wrasse brings constant motion and vibrant contrast to reef aquariums, while also helping to control pests such as flatworms and small invertebrates. Its beauty and utility make it a popular choice among hobbyists.
Size: Typically grows up to 5 inches in length
Country of Origin: Western Indian Ocean and coastal regions of East Africa
Latin Name: Halichoeres iridis
Care Level: Moderate – requires a well-established aquarium with fine sand for burrowing and plenty of live rock for foraging and shelter
Radiant Wrasses are carnivores, feeding on small invertebrates, worms, and crustaceans. They are generally considered reef safe, as they typically ignore corals and clams, though they may consume tiny ornamental invertebrates.
