Thalassoma is a genus of wrasses known for their vibrant colors and active behavior. These fish are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their ability to control pests like pyramid snails and flatworms. They are generally hardy and can adapt to a variety of tank conditions, but they require ample swimming space and a diet rich in protein. Thalassoma species often display interesting social hierarchies and can change sex from female to male during their lifecycle.
