Jewelled Leopard Wrasse, Halichoeres lapillus

The Jewelled Leopard Wrasse have a pinkish red body white throat and black spots and are a true jewel to have in a reef aquarium.

A 90 gallon or larger aquarium with well established live rock and a layer of live sand is recommended. They will do best when introduced in groups of three or more. It eats small invertebrates (foraminiferans and amphiopods) that grow on live rock.

The Jewelled Leopard 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.
