Leopard Wrasse - Common

The Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon meleagris) is a sensitive species that requires extra care with acclimation but is highly rewarding once established. With a peaceful temperament and fully reef-safe nature, it thrives in community aquariums where its graceful swimming and striking spotted pattern add both activity and elegance. Best housed in tanks of 40+ gallons with a mature sandbed and ample live rock, this wrasse enjoys foraging naturally and benefits from a varied diet of live copepods, frozen mysis and brine shrimp, and high-quality pellets. Its calm behavior and vivid coloration make it a prized choice for dedicated aquarists seeking a showpiece that blends beauty with function in the reef.

International Aquatics Quarantine & Guarantee: All fish are checked by marine vets, given a formalin bath, and held for 14 days in copper-treated systems. We feed Selcon-soaked food with Kanaplex and Metroplex during quarantine. Unless marked, all livestock comes with our 15-Day Guarantee. You will receive a video of your fish eating before shipment. On request, we also send photos/videos after arrival at IA. Some species are import-to-order (3–10 business days). Many common species are already cleared or near the end of QT. Sensitive species (Leopard Wrasses, Tamarin Wrasses, Deepwater species) have a small extra QT fee due to their special needs.

Several species will be import-to-order and may take anywhere from 3–10 business days to secure. Once your fish is secured, you will be notified, and the quarantine process will then begin.
