Details
The juvenile Yellowhead Wrasse is yellow with a bright blue mid-body stripe. Several different color phases of this wrasse are found depending on region and maturity. As the wrasse matures, its head becomes bright yellow and the posterior turns black, green, and pink.
The Yellowhead Wrasse is generally safe with larger tankmates of a similar, slightly bold temperament. These wrasses are active swimmers and should not be kept with delicate or very passive tankmates. They may also pick at some inverts and crustaceans so they should not be housed in a reef aquarium.
Wrasses will accept most types of prepared or frozen foods like pellets, shrimp, scallops and similar foods.
