Christmas (ornate) Wrasse-SUPERMALE

Halichoeres ornatissimus-This great aquarium fish should be provided with a layer of sand on the tank bottom of 2 inches or more as it buries at night and when threatened. It will usually remain buried for a day or two when first introduced to the aquarium. It can be housed with a wide-range of fish species, although be sure not to house it with any fish that may pick on it, particularly initially as it cannot tolerate any harassment, particularly initially. Can do great in a reef or fish only tank. In a reef, it does have the potential to pick off small ornamental shrimp.
