The simply-striking Grey Head Wrasse, or Threespot Wrasse has three white lines on either side of its head, three black spots along its back, and three false "eyes" running along its dorsal fin back to a fourth on the tail in Juveniles and Females. Adult male Grey Head Wrasse, sport vivid blue stripes through their face with orange/red spots along the length of their body.
A 70 gallon or larger aquarium with a tight-fitting lid, a 2-3 inch sandy bottom to hide under if frightened, and other peaceful wrasses, including its own species, is an acceptable environment.
Approximate Purchase Size: Juvenile (Small): 1-1/2" to 2-1/4"; Female/Subadult (Medium): 2-1/4" to 3"; Male (Large): 3" to 4"

A super fish to add to your tank! I am partial to wrasses and specifically the Halichoeres species. This fish will not disappoint. It is not only a very colorful fish, but peaceful as well. It has struck up a partnership with a Rusty Angelfish I have and the two of them are constantly on the move hunting around the tank for food. It does like to have a lot of rock work to hide in if it is frightened. Be careful though, if not fed well, it will eat snails or anything else it deems edible.
