Common name: Wrasses

The Labridae family, commonly known as wrasses, encompasses a diverse group of colorful and active fish that are popular in the reefkeeping hobby. Wrasses are known for their vibrant patterns and behaviors, including sand diving and cleaning other fish. They play a crucial role in controlling pests like flatworms and pyramidellid snails. Many wrasses are also known for their interesting life cycles, with some species starting life as females and transitioning to males as they mature. They generally require a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a sandy substrate to thrive.
