what you can tell me about this fish....how to feed him? can put around coral? it's too agressive? etc etc

 

[albano]

Sorry I haven't kept any Carib wrasses in the past 25 years, I would guess that it'll eat most any food, and is not reef safe, especially as it grows!
Where are you located?

caribbean Dominican republic

It'll eat pellets, mysis, Ocean Nutrtion frozen foods and pretty much anything else that can fit in its mouth.

 

[omartinez]

what about macro and vegies? or it's just meat?

 

[Monkeyfish]

Never tried offering it macros, but I'm sure it'll eat vegetable based preparations like the frozen Ocean Nutition foods.
