Disappearing Wrasse: A Striking & Secretive Gem

Add a touch of vibrant mystery to your reef aquarium with the captivating Disappearing Wrasse. Its striking colours and intriguing behaviour make it a truly unique inhabitant.

Overview
The Disappearing Wrasse (*Pseudocheilinus evanidus*) is admired for its beautiful scarlet red to reddish-orange body adorned with numerous fine white longitudinal lines and sometimes faint horizontal bars. A distinct bluish streak typically runs beneath its eye. This wrasse is known for its secretive nature, often darting between live rock and crevices, hence its common name. While generally solitary, its active foraging adds dynamic movement to your marine display.

Care Level
This semi-aggressive wrasse is suitable for intermediate aquarists. While peaceful towards most invertebrates and corals, it can show aggression towards other wrasses or similarly shaped fish if housed in inadequate space or without sufficient hiding spots. Introducing it as the last fish in your community can help manage compatibility.

Tank Essentials
A minimum 208-litre (55-gallon) aquarium is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. Ensure your setup includes abundant live rock with many crevices and caves, offering crucial hiding places. A tight-fitting lid is essential as these active fish are known jumpers.

Diet
The Disappearing Wrasse is a carnivore that thrives on a varied diet. Offer high-quality meaty foods such as frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped seafood. They also enjoy browsing for copepods and other micro-invertebrates within live rock, making them a great addition for natural pest control.
