Radiant Wrasse 

(Halichoeres iridis)

The  Radiant Wrasse is a small to medium sized fish that attains a full size of 4-1/2".  While this beautiful wrasse is very easy to keep and is peaceful with other fish, use caution housing it in reef type aquariums.  It may eat shrimp, feather dusters, clams and tubeworms (although it may be a good thing if you are inundated with the latter).  The upside is that it will eat pyramid snails, bristleworms, flatworms and some fish parasites right off its tankmates!  Good meaty foods and dry foods, such as Ocean Nutrition's Formula I pellets, available at Blue Fish Aquarium, will help these fish thrive in your aquarium!
