Overview
This hard-to-find Slingjaw Wrasse, is sure to drop jaws the next time your reefer friends stop by. While its size alone is more than impressive, the Slingjaw Wrasse boasts a bright yellow body for females and a brown body, with a white to gray head with a black stripe through the eye for the male.
While the Slingjaw Wrasse can grow rather large, they are generally a shy species and should only be housed in an appropriately large aquarium with other non-aggressive fishes to avoid being bullied. They are known to move sand around in search of food and will eat hard shell inverts and sometimes small fish.
The Slingjaw Wrasse is commonly found roaming alone in inner reefs, along reef edges and rubble piles. Feed a prepared plankton diet to mimic their common natural diet.
