Halichoeres melanurus

One of the best problem solvers for Planaria flatworms and in reef aquariums.
Description: One of the best kept secrets in the hobby, the Melanurus Wrasse is one of the best problem solvers for Planaria flatworms in reef aquariums. It also protects both corals and clams by eating fireworms. Forget medications that can harm or damage your delicate motile invertebrates! The Melanurus Wrasse will consume flatworms and you will see the difference within a matter of a couple of days. Once the flatworms are gone you have an attractive, friendly fish that will readily adjust to a captive diet and frequent the water column with activity. TAlso known as the Pinstriped Fairy Wrasse, this hard to find fish is occasionally exported from Hawaii and Micronesia.This is a good aquarium fish that is occasionally available to the trade. It can be housed with a wide-range of fish species and rarely bothers tankmates. Provide this species with a layer of sand on the aquarium bottom.
Recommended Tank size: minimum 30 gallon
Food and diet:Feed this fish frozen preparations for carnivores, chopped seafood and a nutritionally complete flake food.
