Splendid pencil wrasse (Pseudojuloides splendens).

With it’s stunning colouration it’s not hard to see why this reef safe wrasse is extremely popular, they are an absolute showstopper! Only discovered in 2017 and only very rarely available. Always in high demand these will add a splash of colour and movement to any reef aquarium. This photo is a phone pic under white light, in the flesh they are even more vibrant than this!

SIZE

They are generally 3” to 4”, some specimens may reach upto 5”.

COMPATABILITY

Reef safe. As with many types of wrasse it may bury in the sand and hide when moved to a new aquarium. Most wrasses are out and about within a day or two, but, some take 3 weeks or more to appear. Don’t worry they will be coming out and feeding at night. We recommend feeding a minimum of twice per day on suitable frozen food. Some small reef fish can jump from an open topped aquarium, we recommend using a tight fitting lid with no gaps.
