Halichoeres Iridis - Radiant Wrasse

[bronzecat]

Went to get a few bits from the LFS today, and whilst checking their stock noticed one of these Wrasse. Never seen one before and they are flippin lovely

Has anyone kept one? If so, how did they get on?

Thanks

Never even seen one, why is it swimming upside down?

They are great fish and pretty easy to keep

I had one for years

They like sand to bury themselves in at night

They will eat fanworms

And are great if you have flatworms

They are really stunning fish . A guy in my lrc has one in his reef tank. My hubby really likes them as well.

Very popular around my locale. Great reef fish, not too spunky, great flatworm predator as noted. For some reason they seem to be the only member of the Halichoeres genus which does NOT nip corals. Most other species are like dwarf angels, sometimes they nip, but the Radiant is not like that. Great news as it's a stunning fish

Thats cool guys I quite fancy one and in the flesh they are gorgeous

Got to leave my tank alone fish wise for a week or two, but they guy at the lfs said he could hold it if I wanted
