One of the most popular of all the Wrasse family, the Lunare Wrasse is a gorgeous, lively and active specimen. A welcome addition to a fish only community or aggressive saltwater aquarium, the Lunare wrasse can fit in with all types of tank mates.
All the common names of the Lunare wrasse are derived from a description it’s tail; Moon Wrasse, Lunar Wrasse, Lunare Wrasse, Crescent Wrasse, and Lyretail Wrasse. This is because as an adult, the yellow caudal fin becomes very ‘lunate’, which means shaped like a crescent moon with long upper and lower lobes. Juveniles lunare wrasse for sale are blue on the lower half of their body, with a black spot in the middle of the dorsal fin and a black blotch on the caudal fin base. As the fish matures, the black blotch will start turning into a yellow crescent. Their body will begin turning green with bright facial and fin markings.
The Lunar Wrasse diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.
