Description

The Ornate Leopard Wrasse is a coveted jewel among reef hobbyists, renowned for its delicate labyrinthine pattern of green, pink, and red spots bordered in dark outline over a pale body. Like other members of the Macropharyngodon genus, this species is a specialized micro-predator that spends its day picking continuously at live rock for copepods and small invertebrates. They require a mature reef system with a fine sand bed of at least 2 inches for nocturnal burrowing and protection. They are exceptionally peaceful, making them ideal companions for gentle reef displays with stable water parameters.
