Green Razor Wrasse

Xyrichthys Wrasse should be added to a well established aquarium. Provide plenty of rockwork with caves and crevices for hiding. A deep sandy bottom should also be provided as Xyrichthys Wrasse are burrowers, they bury themselves in the sand at night and if they are frightened. Xyrichthys Wrasse may not eat readily when first introduced to the aquarium. If seeing an unwilliness to eat add fortified live mysis or Brine shrimp to their carnivorous diet. Xyrichthys are not reef safe and will prey on hard shelled invertebrates. Provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as they may jump.
