Behavior & Husbandry
Ornate Leopard Wrasses are active foragers that spend their day hunting small organisms throughout the rockwork and sand bed. Like other leopard wrasses, they require a mature aquarium with a well-established sand bed for sleeping and stress relief.
They can be delicate during acclimation and do best in stable, peaceful reef systems with low aggression and excellent water quality.
A tight-fitting lid is strongly recommended, as wrasses are known jumpers.
